On the afternoon of May 6, Che Changbo, Secretary General of the China Mining Association, met with Chen Wei, President of Anglo American's China region, and Wang Fan, Head of Corporate Public Relations of Anglo American's China region. The two sides had in-depth discussions and exchanges on the China Mining Conference and Exhibition, the current situation of the mining industry, their respective core businesses, and topics of mutual interest.
 
Che Changbo, Secretary General, first warmly welcomed Chen Wei, President of Anglo American, and expressed sincere gratitude to Anglo American for its long-term attention and support to the China Mining Association and the China Mining Conference and Exhibition.
 
Che Changbo introduced to the guests the key work of the China Mining Conference and Exhibition and the China Mining Association. He stressed that the development of the China Mining Association is closely intertwined with that of China's mining industry. Its core mission is to serve as a communication bridge and link for the government, mining enterprises, and domestic and foreign mining exchanges and cooperation. China has always embraced international cooperation with a positive attitude. Over the past 20-odd years, the China Mining Conference and Exhibition has gradually evolved into a comprehensive grand event covering the entire mining industry chain, gathering investment, innovative ideas, talents, experience sharing, and exhibitions of equipment and technologies, and its influence around the world is growing steadily.
 
Chen Wei, President of Anglo American's China region, pointed out that as a regular participant in the China Mining Conference and Exhibition, Anglo American hopes to leverage this platform to communicate with more enterprises, focusing on hot issues in the mining field. This is of great positive significance for addressing common challenges in the development of the domestic and foreign mining industries. He emphasized the significant contributions of the mining industry to social and technological advancement. He hopes to explore new and broader growth opportunities between emerging industries like new energy and traditional mining, so as to redefine the mining industry. Wang Fan, Head of Corporate Public Affairs of Anglo American's China region, introduced the group's development history and the recent adjustments to its business segments. Anglo American plans to focus on three areas in the future: high-grade iron ore, copper ore, and crop nutrition, and looks forward to more extensive exchanges and cooperation with China in the market.
 
Che Changbo answered Anglo American's questions one by one, thanked Anglo American for its valuable suggestions for the China Mining Conference and Exhibition, and sincerely invited Anglo American to continue participating in this year's Mining Congress, conduct in-depth communication with domestic and foreign mining enterprises, deepen cooperation, and jointly promote the high-quality development of the global mining industry.
