Recently, we have stepped up expanding our business footprint in the Latin America and Europe to support their energy transition. Upon the completion of business upgrading and transforming, we continue to upgrade our power solutions and introduce more advanced systems. Progress we have made includes launching our first biogas project which equips with combined heat and power system in China this year and incorporating Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology into a soon-to-be-completed new project in Myanmar to enhance energy efficiency. Our diversified projects portfolio and business network not only strengthen our industry position, but also support our ambitious business development plan fulfilling our mission to become a global leader. Looking ahead, the Group will continue creating best values for our stakeholders while embracing our corporate sustainability and social responsibility.”
