The plaque unveiling ceremony of the Liaison Office of the Guangdong Drug Administration (the former Guangdong Food and Drug Administration) in GMTCM Park and the Chinese Medicine Technology and Policy Research Center was officially held in July 2018. As a communication platform connecting government agencies and enterprises, the liaison office has regularly organized activities for industry experts and representatives of enterprises and functional government departments to discuss and exchange their ideas on issues regarding policies, technologies, and the industrial development of TCM, providing enterprises with advice and guidance on policies and key technologies in the process of project R&D, registration and application.
