Definition
旨在 (zhǐ zài) is a formal, written verb meaning 'to aim to, to be intended to' — it states the purpose or goal of a plan, policy, or initiative. Unlike 意图 (yì tú), which can be a noun ('intention') or verb ('to intend') and often refers to a person's inner motive, 旨在 is used for institutional or objective aims and is always followed by a verb phrase.
verb
