STORYLINE:

Strengthening scientific collaboration has been the guiding principle of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, since its establishment almost 70 years ago, Emmanuel Tsesmelis said.
   
Tsesmelis, CERN'S head of relations with associate members and non-member states, made the remarks in a recent interview with Xinhua. He said this ambition is even more important today.

Since humans share the need to understand the universe, it can only be performed together, Tsesmelis said.
   
Tsesmelis noted that CERN has a "very nice" collaboration with China. "I hope that will continue into the future," he said.

"So I would say there is a very nice, continuous collaboration between the two parties. And I hope that that will continue into the future. The universe is unique. And we all love to understand that as much as possible. And that is the binding aspect of what we do together."

CERN, a particle physics laboratory, aims to understand the origins of the universe and the structure of matter, and at the same time to develop relevant technologies.
