On June 4, 2025, Zhu Kebing, President and Deputy Party Group Secretary of China Minmetals, presided over a research symposium for affiliated enterprises of China Minmetals in East China, held in Shanghai. The symposium involved conveying and studying the guiding principle contained in General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches on the 15^th Five-Year Plan, and implementing the plan of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council regarding the 15^th Five-Year Plan. It also brought together insights to jointly plan the overall development strategy and goals for China Minmetals over the next five years.

At the symposium, the basic approach and compilation plan were introduced for China Minmetals' 15th Five-Year Plan. It centered on themes such as production & operation, the development of new quality productive forces, key measures for the layout of strategic emerging industries, plan compilation, and "Work Safety Month" related activities. Attendees listened to reports and suggestions from six companies (including MCC Huatian Engineering & Technology Corporation, China MCC17 Group Co., Ltd., China MCC20 Group, Shanghai Baoye Group Corporation Ltd., MCC Baosteel Technology Services Co., Ltd. and MCC (Shanghai) Steel Structure Technology Corp, Ltd.), and engaged in interactive exchanges.

Zhu Kebing pointed out that it is essential to firmly grasp the strategic mission and functional positioning of central state-owned enterprises. We should focus on the "three concentrations", stand on the "three functions", and strive to be the "three vanguards". This approach will continuously enhance core functions and improve core competitiveness. We should take the lead and set an example in promoting high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, building a modern industrial system, and developing new quality productive forces. Besides, it is essential to adhere to the "four new" orientations of technological innovation, industrial transformation, mechanism reform, and mindset update. We should vigorously push forward with the industrialization of technological achievements and the "three modernizations" transformation of traditional industries. We should build a high-level talent echelon to drive the iterative upgrade of productivity with technological innovation and continuously enhance competitiveness in domestic and international markets. Moreover, following the requirements of regionalization and specialization, we should focus on the primary responsibilities & key business and accurate positioning of the industry, seek breakthroughs and adjust the layout in optimizing existing resources. In addition, it is necessary to fundamentally transform our perceptions, innovate on integration models to consolidate internal resources, and continuously promote the development of information systems. We should also expand the application of emerging management models and technologies. It is crucial to plan the development strategy for the next five years in a systematic and scientific way. We should adhere to an open-door policy for seeking advices, and gather collective wisdom to ensure that the plan is executable and implementable, thereby empowering and accelerating the high-quality development of the enterprise.

The symposium was also joined by the heads of relevant headquarters departments of China Minmetals.
