国际岩石力学与岩石工程学会主席向中国科技工作者致贺信

I am very glad to congratulate all the people related to science and technology in China will celebrating a major event, "Fifth National Science and Technology Workers' Day" end of May. In addition, the 10th National Congress of Chinese Association of Science and Technology (CAST) will also be organized the same month.  I am sure that National Science and Technology Workers' Day which is organized since 2017, has inspired millions of Chinese science and technology workers to devote themselves to advancing the development of science, technology and innovation. I also believe that the National Congress of CAST, which has a huge number of member societies and local branches in China, will maintain close ties with millions of Chinese scientists, engineers and other people working in the fields of science and technology. This event will also be a very important and fruitful event for Chinese science and technology workers to advise on the governance and development of the Chinese science community.

Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering (CSRME) is one of the member societies of CAST. As the President of the International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, I cannot fail do recognizing the strong input that the ISRM has received from CSRME and the colleagues from China. Organization of  congresses and a number of ISRM sponsored symposia, conferences, workshops and lecture tours in China, large amount of participations from China to all ISRM events with presentations of papers, contributions to the ISRM Board and to ISRM Commissions as chairman and commission member, support to the ISRM Education Fund, as the winner of some Best National Group Awards and other activities are the clear evidences of the strong input, support and cooperation by the Chinese National Group of Rock Mechanics and Engineering.  All these activities indicate that CSRME will continue to provide contributions to CAST and ISRM. 

Before I finish, I congratulate all science and technology workers of China and organization committees giving efforts for this two huge scale events.

Good wishes all of you for a successful, fruitful and nice national events which will also enhance the friendships and motivation of the science and all technology workers of China.
