Quam IR Awards 2021 - The Most Remarkable Investor Relations Recognition

I am delighted to take this opportunity to congratulate the winners of the 2021 Quam IR Awards.

Hong Kong financiers have been committed to providing innovative and diversified services to support Hong Kong's economic stability and prosperity. In recognition of the contributions and efforts of outstanding and profitable financial institutions over the past year.

In the past year, the global economy was full of uncertainties and challenges. It was not easy for companies to maintain business performance and seek further breakthroughs. In this context, Hong Kong has an open, fair and competitive trading environment that is conducive to global, regional and bilateral trade. With the Mainland's "dual circulation" strategy, Hong Kong's key role as a trade hub will come into play, guiding market opportunities to each other in the domestic and international circulation, thereby unlocking huge business opportunities for the Mainland and our trading partners. An investor relations major can definitely play a role and make an impact in demonstrating company value and building investor confidence. Excellent investor relations performance is the cornerstone of success. High transparency of information disclosure, effective communication with stakeholders, and high-quality corporate governance are all essential for good investor relations. The outstanding achievements of this year's award-winning companies in investor relations work make them a role model for other public companies or public companies.

My heartfelt congratulations to all the winners and I wish all participants continued new successes for the business industry.
