On September 15, Guo Wenqing, President and Deputy Party Group Secretary of China Minmetals, held a meeting with Wang Zhongkun, Deputy Secretary of the CPC Anshan Municipal Committee and Mayor of Anshan.

The two sides exchanged their views on further strengthening the cooperation between central state-owned enterprises and local governments, especially the development of Chentaigou Iron Mine Project.

Guowenqing expressed his welcome to Wang Zhongkun and his delegation, and expressed his gratitude to Anshan City for its long-term support. Guo said that China Minmetals had thoroughly implemented the guiding principles of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches on the reform and development of state-owned enterprises and Party building, and firmly undertaken the mission of serving and reinvigorating the country through metal and mining industry. He added that China Minmetals had continued to make its key responsibility and major business even stronger, better and larger, and was accelerating towards the goal of becoming a world-class metal and mining enterprise. In 2021, China Minmetals gained operating revenue of over RMB 850 billion with its total assets exceeding RMB 1 trillion, ranking 58th in the 2022 Fortune Global 500 List, which shows its expanding business scale and improving quality of development.

Guo pointed out that the cooperation between China Minmetals and Anshan City enjoyed a long history and shared a solid foundation for cooperation. Many of China Minmetals' affiliated enterprises, such as China Third Metallurgical Group Corporation Ltd. have taken root in Anshan and been deeply involving in and contributing to Anshan's urban building and economic and social development for a long time. In recent years, China Minmetals has further expanded business cooperation with Anshan, and deployed many major projects here with Chentaigou Iron Mine Project being a representative. Guo hoped that the two sides would actively promote the construction and operation of Chentaigou Iron Mine Project with the aim to serve the national strategy, and jointly contribute to improving China's iron ore resource support capabilities and maintaining the security of industry and supply chains so as to embrace the opening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with concrete actions.

Wang Zhongkun expressed his gratitude to Guo Wenqing for his warm reception and to China Minmetals for its long-term contribution to Anshan's economic and social development. Wang said that in recent years, Anshan had maintained an upward development trend, and was making every effort to build a national comprehensive steel industry base. He added that at present, the Chentaigou Iron Mine Project was progressing smoothly with continuous acceleration of its construction speed. He hoped that China Minmetals would further increase its investment in Anshan. To this end, he added that Anshan would, as always, provide quality services for China Minmetals' development in Anshan and continue to promote the win-win development of central state-owned enterprises and local governments.

Both sides had an in-depth discussion on issues of common concern.
