Bill Gates, the world’s second-richest man, said a new partnership with China will help alleviate poverty and hunger globally, and that he’s working separately to promote the nation’s adoption of more-advanced nuclear power technology.
A partnership between the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and China’s Ministry of Science and Technology announced Oct. 26 aims to start work “quickly,” Gates, the foundation’s co-chairman and Microsoft Corp. chairman, said at a briefing in Beijing today. The two sides are still in talks on how to make the accord “come to life,” he said.
