BEIJING, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese State Councilor Shen Yiqin on Tuesday said China is ready to work with the European Union (EU) to continue to promote women's broad and in-depth participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education.

Shen, also Chinese chairperson of the China-EU High-Level People-to-People Dialogue, made the remarks in a video speech towards the opening ceremony of the China-EU Great Wall Seminar, an education policy dialogue platform within the framework of the China-EU High-Level People-to-People Dialogue.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 75 years ago, the education level of Chinese women has improved significantly, and Chinese women's participation in STEM education has achieved remarkable results, Shen said.
