Following the tour, Chairman Wang Shi and his delegation took part in a “ESG & Low-Carbon Exchange Meeting for Chinese Enterprises Going Global” with representatives from IMIP enterprises such as Dexin, BTR, Zhongqing, MTI, and ChengTok Lithium Indonesia. The discussion focused on sharing experiences and insights on international business operations. Chairman Wang Shi highlighted that many Chinese enterprises going abroad face the challenge of “three inadequacies,” suggesting that entrepreneurs adopt a more proactive approach to integrating with local cultures and building strong relationships with local governments, media, and communities. He encouraged Chinese companies to forge a positive international image through green development models and to unite for mutual development. He expressed his deep admiration for the pioneering and resilient spirit demonstrated by private entrepreneurs, like Professor Xu Kaihua, and their commitment to green and low-carbon development, amidst the rapid development and complex challenges in IMIP.
