During the Chilean Dragon Year Celebration, students from the "Lithium Dreams Chilean Study Tour Program" supported by Tianqi Lithium volunteered at the event. They shared their study tour stories and life experiences in China with the citizens of Chile.
Catherine, one of the study tour students, dressed in Hanfu and participated in the Dragon Year Celebration, sharing her study tour experiences on stage. "From the Panda Base to the ancient city of Xi'an, we felt the charm of Chinese culture, the convenience of the modern digital economy, the speed of China's high-speed rail, and gained insights into the rapid development of China's new energy industry..." These interesting study tour stories caught the attention of young Chileans.
At the Tianqi Lithium booth, the office staff introduced our sustainable development concepts to Chilean citizens, showcasing the original sand painting "We Share," an animated short film "The Lithium World" and recommended Tianqi Lithium's first global lithium battery industry carbon white paper, "Sustainable Lithium Industry White Paper under Net Zero Emissions Goal," which sparked strong interest among Chilean citizens.
