The annual Festival further consolidates XCMG's international development strategy. The world's largest countries are introducing stimulus policies for infrastructure in the post-pandemic period, and the demand for construction machinery has been high. In addition, energy transition and transformation have increased the demand for green energy commodities such as copper, cobalt and lithium, which has stimulated mining operations worldwide. XCMG, as a leading mining solution provider capable of offering integrated mining equipment sets, is also embracing greater market opportunities. "XCMG will live up to the expectations and fight side by side with our global partners to push forward our digital, green and international strategies, contributing to the world with more dynamic, high-quality development and a globally competitive XCMG," said Wang Min, chairman and CEO of XCMG.
