On 17 November 2010, a technical memorandum of understanding was signed between Anses-ANMV and the Chinese Veterinary Medicines Control Institute (IVDC), organising a training programme, either in Beijing or Fougères in the various fields of veterinary medicinal product activities. A meeting is planned annually between the two directorates in order to take stock of the actions carried out and to provide for the following. This agreement was renewed in 2015 and then in 2020. Cooperation is continuing with a work programme drawn up for the next five years, in particular in the field of antibiotic resistance, counterfeiting and the evaluation of MA dossiers.

Many training courses took place either in France or in China during these years of cooperation. The training covered topics such as the evaluation of MA applications for immunological veterinary medicinal products, the inspection of veterinary medicinal products manufacturing establishments with modules on good manufacturing practices, for example. The topic of antibiotic resistance was also discussed. More technical subjects such as detection of drugs falsified with Raman spectroscopy, maximum residue limits have also been the subject of training modules, These modules are usually given to 2 or 3 people when a delegation comes to France but the training can take place for dozens of people when it takes place in China as it was the case in 2015 and 2018.
