On September 22, as the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays approached, Chen Dexin, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Chairman of China Minmetals, visited the Xiong’an International Trade Center project undertaken by China MCC5 in Xiong’an New Area, Hebei Province. He conducted a work safety inspection at the construction site and visited and extended festive greetings to frontline cadres and employees. Cheng Yong, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy General Manager of China Minmetals, accompanied the inspection.

Chen Dexin visited the Xiong’an International Trade Center project and the Xiong’an City Air Terminal, where he gained a detailed understanding of contract performance, safety management, technological innovation, and quality control. He fully affirmed the team’s achievements in building a landmark project in Xiong’an New Area and encouraged them to continue their efforts to better serve the area’s construction and development. On behalf of the Party Leadership Group of China Minmetals, he extended festive greetings and sincere regards to the cadres and employees who remained at their posts during the holidays.

Chen Dexin stressed that the Xiong’an International Trade Center project is a landmark project in Xiong’an New Area, and that participating in its construction is a glorious mission and a weighty responsibility. We must thoroughly study and implement the important expositions and instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on work safety, uphold the principle of “putting people first and prioritizing lives”, foster strong awareness of work safety, and keep to the bottom line and red line for work safety. Particular vigilance is required during the holiday period and the final stage of construction. Complacency and laxity must be resolutely avoided, work safety responsibilities must be enforced at every level, and close attention must be paid to key activities such as confined-space work and simultaneous operations, as well as critical areas such as fire prevention and electrical safety. A results-oriented culture should be fostered in which each level sets an example for the level below and takes the lead in getting things done, so as to ensure work safety without exception. It is necessary to strengthen brand building by relying on major projects, making good use of high-quality platforms such as the Xiong’an International Trade Center project, fully demonstrating China Minmetals’ technical, managerial, and human-resource strengths and clean project construction, forging a distinctive brand competitiveness, and continuously enhancing the brand image of China Minmetals. We shall cultivate and strengthen key subsidiaries, encourage them to shoulder heavy responsibilities, continuously forge their strengths, shore up weaknesses, and better play their role as “bellwethers” in promoting China Minmetals’ high-quality development. We shall also build a strong contingent of cadres and talent. Taking project construction as a lever, we shall cultivate and develop a group of project management professionals who are highly competent, upright, and committed, providing solid talent support for the long-term development of China Minmetals.

The inspection was also attended by the Assistant General Manager and Engineering Director of China Minmetals, along with heads of relevant headquarters departments and relevant directly managed enterprises.
