Opening Speech at World Metallurgy Expo Shanghai 2001
The World Metallurgy Expo Shanghai 2001 has been officially opened in Shanghai International Exhibition Center today. The event is sponsored by China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Shanghai Branch (CCPIT Shanghai) and China Chamber of International Commerce Shanghai Chapter (CCOIC Shanghai), and organized by Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation, Shanghai International Exhibition Company and Huajin Co. Ltd.
On behalf of Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation, please allow me to extend warm congratulations to the opening of the Expo and a warm welcome to the distinguished participants, particularly those from faraway lands! And I would like to express sincere gratitude to the sponsors of the Expo as well as the Chinese Association of Iron and Steel Industry and the leaders c : the relevant departments of Shanghai Municipality who have shown care for and support to the ever::, and my gratitude also goes to the hardworking staff of the Organizing Committee.
The Expo has presented concentrations of advanced technology and equipment of metallurgy from at home and abroad, involving such areas as forging, casting and heat treatment. Major technical symposiums will be held concurrently during the Expo.
Against the backdrop of accelerated globalization of the world economy and China’s accession to the WTO, a more open and ordered metallurgical market, involving metallurgical products, technology and equipment, will be taking shape in Shanghai. We cordially welcome friends at home and abroad to Shanghai for cooperation in technology trading, technology service and project investing.
The achievement of China’s metallurgical industry during the past 20 years of reform and opening-up has drawn the world’s attention. Our country has become a major iron and steel producer. The current Metallurgy Expo will bring new technology, equipment and ideas to the metallurgical industry of China and provide ample room for international exchange in metallurgical technology. We believe that this Expo will push China’s metallurgical industry to a new height and produce positive impact on the development of metallurgical science and technology around the world.
