Guo Wenqing Meets with Dang Xiaolong, Secretary of Baoding Municipal Party Committee and Yan Jihong, Mayor of Baoding City

On January 11, Guo Wenqing, China Minmetals' President and Deputy Party Group Secretary, met with Dang Xiaolong, Secretary of Baoding Municipal Party Committee and Yan Jihong, Mayor of Baoding City. The two sides exchanged views on deepening cooperation.

Guo Wenqing expressed his welcome to Dang Xiaolong and his delegation, and introduced the production and operation status of China Minmetals in recent years. He pointed out that since the strategic reorganization, China Minmetals had continued to build and consolidate the business system featured by "four beams and eight columns" composed of metal mining, metallurgical engineering, trade, logistics, finances and the real estate. In doing so, China Minmetals sees its operating revenue growing steadily year by year, ranking 65th among the Fortune Global 500 at present. Its annual operating revenue in 2021 is expected to exceed RMB 800 billion, a record high, presenting a brilliant start to the 14th Five-Year Plan. Besides, China Minmetals continues to gain development momentum and improve the quality of development.

Guo Wenqing noted that China Minmetals had always attached great importance to all-round and multi-level cooperation with Baoding City, and that the two sides had forged a profound friendship in long-term friendly exchanges. In September 2020, MCC and Baoding Municipal People's Government signed a strategic cooperation agreement, starting a new stage of high-level strategic cooperation between the two sides. At present, China Minmetals has a large number of key projects in Baoding regarding project construction, aluminum processing and new materials, and science and technology industrial parks, which have made positive contributions to the economic and social development of Baoding. China Minmetals will continue to fully use its advantages in management, technology, talents and capital, and actively participate in the construction of municipal projects and infrastructure, trade & logistics, mineral and metal resource development, new urbanization and other fields of Baoding. He hoped that both sides could further strengthen communication based on the existing cooperation fields, and work together to make new contributions to promoting regional economic development and serving national strategies.

Dang Xiaolong thanked Guo Wenqing for his warm reception and congratulated China Minmetals on its excellent achievements. He said that in recent years, Baoding had maintained a good trend and strong momentum of economic and social development, with several major economic indicators ranking first in Hebei Province and the manufacturing quality competitiveness index ranking first in the same province for seven consecutive years. At present, Baoding is fully focusing on the new pattern of Beijing-Xiong'an-Baoding integrated development, actively integrating into major strategies such as the construction of Beijing Metropolitan Area, and accelerating the cooperation in key fields such as urban renovation and municipal transportation. He hoped that both sides could further strengthen exchanges and fully use their respective strengths to achieve wider cooperation in multiple fields. The Baoding Municipal Party Committee and Baoding Municipal People's Government will, as always, create favorable conditions and provide the best services for business development of China Minmetals.

Both sides had an extensive discussion on other issues of common concern.
