In the new cycle, it is inevitable to encounter the depressed economy, excess capacity, and greater risks. However, the opportunities brought up by the economic restructuring, momentum transfer, and deepened reform are emerging. Exposed in such a development environment, a company should keep an incisive insight into its strategy, follow the requirement of the mega trend and make innovation through internal revolution. Only by doing that, can it have long-term steady growth and ultimately achieve greatness. In 2015 when the business environment was extremely tough and complicated, especially when the market was shocked by the oil price slump, Sinochem people carried forward the enterprising spirit, practiced the philosophy of "Creating Value, Pursuing Excellence" , focused on quality and profitability enhancement, continuously pushed forward the strategic transformation, maintained a safe and steady business operation, and realized the value preservation and appreciation of the state-owned assets, with all our work making new progress. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank friends from all walks of life for your care and support for Sinochem for many years. 2016 is the beginning year for China's "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, and is also an important year to connect Sinochem's past with the future.
