He said that as an important member of Poly Group and Sinolight Corporation, China Haisum is an important force in achieving the strategic goals of China's economic and social development, and bears important responsibilities in the process of national modernization. It is important to always implement national strategies and serve the high-quality development of new industrialization. In the process of establishing standards, expanding patents, strengthening brands, improving quality, expanding markets, and increasing efficiency, efforts should be made to promote digitalization, intelligence, and greenization, and continuously enhance industrial competitiveness. It is crucial to ignite the sparks of innovation and give birth to a "new fulcrum" for development in the next decade and beyond. With the core goal of "firmly strengthening and optimizing state-owned capital and state-owned enterprises", focus should be put on the strategic layout of the "9+6" emerging industries and future industries, as well as on rejuvenating the emerging industries and setting sail for future industries, so as to form new strategic growth points. Attention should be paid to fulfilling historical responsibilities and missions and collectively propelling China Haisum to new heights. Upholding the business philosophy of "customer-centricity and innovation-driven", the company will fully fulfill the mission of "contributing to a better life through intelligent engineering" on a new journey to becoming an "excellent technology-oriented engineering company" and continuously demonstrating the power behind "Made in China".

Zhang Wanshun emphasized in his concluding speech that this event is both a reflection on the glorious past and a glimpse into the future. The 70-year development journey of China Haisum has witnessed the birth and socialist construction of the new China and the tremendous changes in China's light industry, while also supporting the robust development of the light industry in developing countries. China Haisum's struggle to this day is a testament to the dedication and hard work of generations of practitioners in the light industry to fulfill the mission of "serving the country through light industry" and their pioneering spirit in achieving the great endeavor of making China a major power in the light industry. The key to China Haisum's continuous growth and its achievements and status today lies in achieving "four selves": continuous self-transcendence in core capabilities, constant self-innovation in development direction, ongoing self-discipline in assuming responsibility, and continued self-accumulation in leveraging collective strength and sharing resources.

Zhang Wanshun emphasized that to achieve new industrialization, firstly, it is necessary to thoroughly implement the major strategic deployment of the Party and the country, deeply understand the connotation and direction of new industrialization, fully invest in prospective new industries, and accelerate the establishment of a comprehensive industrial chain. Secondly, it is important to have a keen insight into the trends of supply and demand changes in the light industry, which requires to accurately grasp the focal areas of technological innovation, strengthen original and leading technological R&D, promote the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, and advance digital and intelligent development. Thirdly, it is crucial to firmly establish a clear strategic direction for the company and implement various measures to support the transformation and development. To that end, it should seize opportunities, spare no efforts in promoting the implementation of reform initiatives, and continuously support the green and sustainable development of countries along the Belt and Road Initiative.
