CMEC’s other leaders made speeches on Party building and business development according to learning and discussion themes and their respective responsibilities.

Fang Yanshui, deputy Party secretary and general manager of CMEC, pointed out in his concluding remarks that upholding Party leadership and strengthening Party building are not only the requirements of the Party Central Committee and CMEC’s higher Party committee but also the actual needs of CMEC’s development. According to Mr. Fang, CMEC remains in a critical period of rising to challenges in 2021. It must adhere to the working guideline of stabilizing overseas business and boost its domestic development and foster the new development paradigm of dual circulations. All the staff must untiringly work to improve their professional capabilities and further unleash their vitality and momentum of development by making innovations in technology, institution and management. The enterprise must make more investments in new energy and energy storage, seize the excellent opportunities in domestic and international markets, and consolidate its market position in the global new energy. CMEC must integrate Party building with operation to raise the political awareness of Party members in a bid to make a big push for its high-quality development.

Members of CMEC’s leadership team, together with other senior executives and Party committee members, attended the meeting.
