Governor Mao thanked Sinopec Group for its long-term strong support to Hunan's petrochemical industry development and oil and gas supply. He said that at present, Hunan is actively seizing historical opportunities such as President Xi Jinping’s inspection tour in Hunan and the national support for high-quality development of the central region; fully implementing the positioning, missions, and tasks of the “Three Hubs and Four New Missions” Strategy; and, solidly promoting the “Three Major Supports and Eight Key Points” Work. Hunan’s economy and society has registered stable performance with good momentum and improved quality for growth. It has made new progress in industrial upgrading, structural adjustment, and quality and efficiency improvement. This year, the regional GDP is expected to exceed 5 trillion yuan.
Governor Mao noted that Hunan Province and Sinopec Group share a good foundation for cooperation. He hoped that both sides will actively seize the “policy window” period during which the state encourages the construction of major investment projects and promotes the stable growth of the industrial economy, to further strengthen collaboration. We may accelerate the promotion of the Yueyang refining and chemical integration project, promote the transformation and upgrading of the petrochemical industry in Hunan, drive the industrial, supply, and value chains to be elevated to the mid-to-high end faster, and work together to contribute to the high-quality development, he added.
