On April 24th, on behalf of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee, Provincial Government, and Putian Municipal Party Committee, Lin Xuyang, Deputy Secretary of the Putian Municipal Party Committee and Mayor of the Putian Municipal People's Government, led a delegation to Ningxia to discuss with Hanas Group the joint promotion of a major cooperative project between Fujian and Ningxia—the construction of the Hanas (Putian) LNG Receiving Terminal Project. During this period, the delegation conducted an on-site visit and research at Ningxia Hanas Liquefied Natural Gas Co., Ltd., and engaged in in-depth exchanges with Hanas Group regarding comprehensive advancement of key projects and the layout of industrial chain development.

Deputy Mayor Li Quancai of Yinchuan City Government, Director of the Office of Rural Work Leading Group of the Yinchuan Municipal Party Committee, Secretary and Director of the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Wu Peng, Deputy Director of the Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Zhao Yanhua, Deputy Secretary-General of the Putian Municipal Government and Director of the Office of the Municipal Government Li Wei, Director of the Putian Municipal Development and Reform Commission Cheng Zhenyu, Secretary of the Party Committee of Putian Culture and Tourism Bureau Ma Jun, and Director of the Administrative Committee of the Meizhou Bay North Coast Economic Development Zone in Putian, Gong Guanxiong, among others, participated in related activities respectively.

At the meeting, after listening to the introduction by Mr. Ma Fuqiang, Chairman of Hanas Group, regarding the group's development and progress of the Hanas (Putian) LNG Receiving Terminal Project, Mayor Lin Xuyang stated that Hanas Group adheres to a green development philosophy focused on clean energy and renewable resources. The group consistently practices advanced management concepts, maintains high standards in construction and operations, and has evolved into a large-scale energy group and a critical provider of public utilities in Ningxia.

Mayor Lin emphasized that the CPC Committee and the government of Putian Municipality will uphold the overall situation of Fujian-Ningxia collaboration, carry forward the work style of "acting immediately and implementing practically", and continue to provide dedicated 'task force' services to fully support the project's advancement. He expressed his hope that Hanas Group would leverage the opportunity of the Putian LNG receiving terminal project to introduce its superior corporate resources, stringent safety production standards, advanced management philosophies, and leading digital operating models to Putian, thereby promoting the local clean energy industry's development, solidifying the achievements of Fujian-Ningxia collaboration, and driving new outcomes in the cooperation.

The Hanas (Putian) LNG receiving terminal is the first significant investment project in Fujian by Ningxia under the strategic decision-making of President Xi Jinping's Fujian-Ningxia Collaboration initiative. It also serves as a symbolic engineering project of mutual investment in the Fujian-Ningxia Collaboration. Following its official signing at the 18th Joint Conference on Fujian-Ningxia Collaboration in 2014, it was included in China's 13th Five-Year Plan for Natural Gas Development and became a major long-term gas storage facility in the autonomous region. With the support and assistance from leaders of successive party committees and governments at provincial levels, relevant departments, and city/district (county) authorities in both Fujian and Ningxia, the project's Phase I has already commenced.

Upon completion, this project will further enhance the natural gas supply and storage capacity in Fujian Province and its surrounding areas. By leveraging the national natural gas pipeline network, it will increase the volume of natural gas supply in the autonomous region through gas volume swaps, strengthening diversified gas supply guarantees. The cooperation in clean energy industries will infuse new connotations into the Fujian-Ningxia collaboration model. As a result of this in-depth exchange, Hanas Group's confidence and enthusiasm have been further boosted, reinforcing their determination to accelerate the construction of the Putian LNG receiving terminal project and strive to create a benchmark project for Fujian-Ningxia collaboration.

Chairman Ma Fuqiang, Vice Chairman Wang Shaobo, and Vice Presidents Kong Ansheng, Li Zhiquing, and Yang Hong, among other executives of Hanas Group, also participated in related events accordingly.
