At the opening ceremony, Lian Xiuqin, Vice Chair of China AOPA and former Deputy Director-General of the CAAC Department of Transport, delivered opening remarks. She noted that in 2011 China AOPA organized China’s first national forum themed on the “low-altitude economy,” and in 2014 pioneered domestic work on UAV personnel qualifications, standards, and operator training. She said the seminar was designed as a deeper, more practical learning platform, tightly aligned with national policy and focused on airspace reform, airworthiness standards, industry deployment, and investment strategy—helping participants grasp the sector’s essence and better support local industrial planning and project decisions.
