Execs laud Xi's keynote remarks at 4th CIIE (V)
Victor Chan, vice president of Agilent and general manager of Agilent Greater China Commercial Organization
In his speech at the opening ceremony of the fourth CIIE, President Xi Jinping once again stressed China's determination to maintain a high level of openness. President Xi's speech resonates deeply with us, right to the bottom of our hearts, as Agilent entered China when China was at the early stages of reform and opening-up. We witnessed and participated in the rapid development of China in 40 years.
We are especially encouraged by President Xi's announcement that China will continue to expand the opening-up in the fields of high tech, energy conservation and environmental protection, in which our innovative technologies could play a profound role.
We have been following the pace of China's development closely, and we are deeply rooted where the country needs us and spare no efforts. 2021 is the first year of the implementation of China's 14th Five-Year Plan, and the role of analysis and testing in various industries has become increasingly prominent. We must firmly grasp the profound opportunities to create greater value to China's customers.
