It has pointed out the right direction for the strategic planning and landing during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period, and consolidated the confidence for the Group’s future development. In the coming year, Yuexiu Group will “focus on quality to increase benefits and integrate innovation to advance the development”, continue to carry forward the corporate spirit of "beyond excellence", forge ahead enthusiastically, and create a new pattern for the Group’s development!
