"I am really pleased that Ping An-Shionogi could join RDPAC. Our company was established in 2020 as a joint venture between Shionogi Co., Ltd. of Japan and Ping An Insurance Group of China. Even we have only experienced the pharmaceutical business for a short period in China, we would like to deliver innovative pharmaceuticals of our parent company, Shionogi, as well as advocating local participation in global R&D and clinical trials. In the future, we would like to commit to the activities of RDPAC and to contributing to ‘Healthy China’."
