All cadres, employees and family members of China National Building Material (CNBM) Group：

 

The Year of the Rabbit is fading and the Year of the Dragon is coming. With the approaching of the Chinese Spring Festival, we would like to extend our sincere greetings and best wishes to you, and express our lofty respect and heartfelt thanks to all the staff staying on posts both at home and abroad during this festive season!

 

The year 2023 marked the opening chapter in thoroughly implementing the guiding principles set forth at the 20th CPC National Congress. It was also an extraordinary and crucial year for CNBM's high-quality development. Looking back on the past year, our endeavors have been arduous and achievements hard-won. Despite the daunting external challenges, all CNBM cadres and staff have actively responded, remained united, and persevered through adversity with unwavering determination. By overcoming obstacles and putting in extraordinary effort, we have presented the Party and nation with proud results.

 

As the stars guide unwavering travelers, behind our achievements are tireless efforts. In the past year, we steadfastly pursued progress while ensuring stability, focused on enhancing quality and efficiency to deliver steady growth, and continuously improved our business performance and structure of industries. To provide strategic guidance, we charted new blueprints for the "1-2-5-4" digital transformation and "developing overseas business equivalent to the current size of CNBM in about 10 years" with higher content of green, low-carbon development. We intensified innovation drives, supported the nation's major projects as a "Pillar of the Material Industry," undertook key national research tasks, and provided solutions to stranglehold technologies. We resolutely deepened reforms, took ambitious actions for implementing reforms, successfully entered the list of Potential World-Class Model Enterprises, and made all possible efforts to build a vibrant, modern state-owned enterprise. We kept strengthening our foothold and tempering our spirit, motivating power through deep study and understanding paired with steadfast action, and leading and safeguarding high-quality development through high-quality Party-building efforts.

 

These remarkable results brim with the group companies' deep dedication to serving the nation through industrial development and leadership in materials, testifying to the indomitable drive for progress day and night of 200,000 CNBMers. Not indulging in pipe dreams or empty talk, we always bear in mind the "two big pictures" and the nation's great undertakings; always stay grounded and forge ahead; always cooperate selflessly for the greater cause -- this is the story and ethos we shared in 2023. Time flies, and the world is ready to embrace a new season's beauty. On the journey in a new era, we will stand together through trials and tribulations, and our footsteps will leave indelible imprints on our homeland and global markets. With unwavering determination, we will pursue our aspirations while "embracing the world" along the "Belt and Road" and across the global stage. Committed to growing stronger, better, and larger together, we will forge ahead with unwavering resolve while hoisting up the banner of excellence and the dream of becoming a world-class enterprise. The path to greatness is paved with countless small steps. We are inspired by the dedication and passion of every striving CNBMer!

 

Weaving through the tides and conquering the crests, let us join hands and march towards a brighter future. 2024 marks the 75th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, a crucial year for fulfilling the "14th Five-Year Plan" targets, and a year for CNBM to accelerate cultivating new production forces and building a modern industrial system. Guided by our mission of "Better Materials Better World", let us strengthen our presence in both the materials fields and strategic emerging industries to improve our "five values" in the coming year. We will continuously enhance our core capacities and competitiveness, striving to compose a new chapter on accelerating the building of a truly world-class comprehensive materials investment group with global competitiveness!

 

In the auspicious year of the Dragon, China takes flight. Let us march towards our dreams. In this new year, let us seize the momentum to start anew and unite our minds to set off again. With indomitable vigor and drive, let us rally towards our shared goals with perseverance and diligence and make greater contributions towards advancing socialism with Chinese characteristics with new achievements of high-quality development. Wish our motherland prosperity and peace in the New Year. Wish each and all of you and your family health, happiness, and prosperity in the new year!
