Execs laud Xi's keynote remarks at 4th CIIE (V)

Nishiguchi Toru, executive officer of Kao Corp Asia

After listening to the speech of President Xi Jinping, we are deeply inspired and moved. We appreciate and await China's increasingly open policies and market, and sincerely hope that the Chinese market will stay open.

The Chinese market is huge and constantly developing, which is attractive even globally. To Kao, the Chinese market has always been our most important overseas market that drives the growth of the Kao Group. The Kao Group's determination to continue to develop in China has never changed.

Against the backdrop of the still severe global pandemic, the fourth CIIE is held as scheduled, which is of great significance to foreign companies. It shows that under the normalization of pandemic prevention and control, the Chinese government and various businesses are operating efficiently, providing a good business environment for foreign companies.

We will continue to apply the Kao Group's most advanced technologies to develop high-quality products and introduce them to China, while strengthening local development and production in China to continue to provide high-quality products made in China, further advancing the business development of Kao in China according to the dual-circulation business strategy that matches China's development policy.
