During one of his speeches at the GHDDI, Gates expressed that there is an urgent need to tackle the resurgence of infectious diseases, the continuous global impact of climate change, and a growing hunger crisis. The foundation has partnered Beijing Municipal Government and Tsinghua University to 'bolster the institute's drug discovery capacity.' Gates expressed his eagerness to contribute to global progression alongside GHDDI and other great Chinese researchers.

Beijing Daily, a state-run newspaper, reported that Beijing's mayor Yin Yang praised the GHDDI for making scientific breakthroughs in recent years. He called for the government to continue supporting the R&D center and deepen their collaboration with the Gates Foundation in areas such as the construction and sharing of scientific research platforms, as well as talent training. Gates went on to show his appreciation towards the Chinese researchers he has worked with, calling them 'brilliant.'

In the 1950s, China had more than 30 million malaria cases and over 300,000 malaria-related deaths every year. However, since then, cases and deaths have dropped tremendously because of the breakthroughs made by Chinese scientists. Gates credited these scientists at GHDDI and researchers across the country for playing a vital role in global progress. He further expressed his excitement to see how they will continue making strides in the future.
