On the morning of October 7, Chen Dexin, Party Secretary and Chairman of China Minmetals, visited the headquarters duty room to inspect and coordinate duty arrangements. He extended his regards to cadres and staff at all levels who had remained on post throughout the holiday. On behalf of the Party Leadership Group of China Minmetals, he conveyed sincere regards and heartfelt gratitude to all those cadres and staff who had remained conscientious from start to finish while holding fast to their posts.

At the headquarters duty room, Chen Dexin listened carefully to the duty briefing and learned in detail about the duty arrangements, workplace safety and dispatching operations of all subsidiaries during the holiday. He gave full recognition to everyone’s hard work over the holiday. He noted that duty personnel at all levels had faithfully performed their duties and worked selflessly, effectively guaranteeing the smooth and orderly operation of China Minmetals’ various tasks and demonstrating a strong sense of responsibility and commitment.

Chen Dexin emphasized that duty management is an important foundational task for ensuring the orderly operation of China Minmetals, preventing safety risks and handling emergencies. Duty personnel at all levels must further strengthen their sense of responsibility, improve scientific dispatching, and demonstrate professionalism on duty through a more rigorous attitude and a more diligent approach, so as to remain at their posts, stay alert and fully perform their duties. Adhering to a problem-oriented approach, they should put forward timely opinions and suggestions based on their experience on duty, promote the revision and refinement of relevant rules and systems, and steadily improve the quality and effectiveness of duty work to ensure both form and substance. Duty work should be conducted from a holistic perspective, with in-depth reflection on how it can safeguard China Minmetals’ high-quality development and workplace safety. The duty system should be built into a key platform for information aggregation, early warning and coordinated response. It is essential to further accelerate the informatization of the duty room so as to enable real-time visibility of key locations and critical scenarios, including mine frontlines, construction projects and logistics parks, fully leverage the inspection, dispatching and supervision functions of duty work, and ensure that information is grasped, situations reported and problems addressed at the earliest opportunity, thereby improving the duty system’s reach into frontline operations and its practical effectiveness.

Chen Dexin also made arrangements for getting back to work after the holiday. The headquarters of China Minmetals and the head offices of its enterprises must quickly switch from holiday mode to working mode, refocus their minds, get fully engaged and go all out, keeping a close eye on the annual targets and indicators and coordinating workplace safety, business management and other work, so as to ensure the smooth resumption and efficient progress of work after the holiday. Leading cadres at all levels must take the lead in getting into working condition and implementing tasks. With a sound mental outlook, they should drive all tasks to tangible results and bring this year’s work to a successful conclusion.

Chen Dexin also reminded everyone that, as the holiday was drawing to a close, staff returning to work in all units should pay attention to travel safety, plan their itineraries properly, and ensure a safe and smooth return to their posts.
