At the World Media Summit,Mr. Zhong highlighted the crucial role of media cooperation in fostering global understanding and people-to-people bonds.

The event is designed to leverage media influence to better humanity's future. Mr. Ren affirmed SINOPEC's dedication to this cause,looking forward to enhancing collaboration with media organizations and other societal sectors to advance global human progress.

Mr. Zhong described SINOPEC's dedication to the principles of "clean energy and beautiful life" as part of its strategy as a responsible global corporation. He emphasized the company's efforts to contribute to a future marked by peace,prosperity,openness,and innovation.

Additionally,the company has achieved recognition with six of its business units cited by the Chinese government as production facilities that have successfully implemented 5G technologies across their operations (a "National 5G factory") and ten as national intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories.

SINOPEC is deeply engaged in green and low-carbon development initiatives.

The groundbreaking 10,000-ton facility is on track to be completed within the year,marking a significant advancement in industrial recycling techniques. Additionally,SINOPEC has established the first 10,000-ton green hydrogen facility powered by renewable electricity in Kuqa.

Mr. Zhong has invited journalists to tour the facilities and see for themselves SINOPEC's commitment to environmental sustainability.

In his remarks,Mr. Zhong emphasized the profound influence of technological revolutions on economic and societal progress,with particular attention to the role of emerging technologies such as AI.
