Chen Donghao said that academics should continue their efforts to improve theoretical research into the management of government nontax revenues and help accelerate the implementation of related legislation. 

Zhang Yansong extended his congratulations on the opening of the conference, saying that he hoped that the conference would develop into a high-level event for future exchanges. 

Lin Wenxun extended a warm welcome to the attendees. He said that the Institute for Government Nontax Revenue at YNU had become a new platform for YNU to serve national and regional management.

In addition, scholars and officials held various rounds of discussions on theoretical and practical research of government nontax revenues, as well as related legislation.
