This is the third time China Daily business reporter Ouyang Shijia has covered the two sessions, when the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference convene in Beijing in early March.

Ouyang got the chance to ask a question of Wang Zhigang, minister of science and technology, during a "minister's passage" interview on Tuesday.

The minister's passage got its name for the 100-meter passage near the northern gate of the Great Hall of the People where ministers and other high-ranking officials walk after leaving the meeting hall.

Ouyang, along with others, did an interview via video link at the Media Center in keeping with pandemic prevention and control measures.

The minister answered a question about global cooperation in the science and tech sector. How can China's economy benefit from such cooperation?
