First on behalf of the Australian Consulate General in Chengdu, Ni Ruilan thanked Tianqi leaders for their warm reception. She said that in the past two years, due to the superposition of economic cycle and COVID-19 pandemic, the global economy has been growing more slowly, leaving many enterprises in manufacturing and operational difficulties. Tianqi Lithium, however, not only made through its hardships, but also managed to turn its losses into profits and re-enter a fast lane of growth. Meanwhile, she expressed her warm congratulations on Tianqi’s introduction of the Australian listed company IGO as its strategic investor and establishment of a strategic partnership with the company. She wished to see more such cases of win-win cooperation between Australian and Chinese enterprises in the future. Finally, she paid special thanks to Tianqi Lithium for its active practice of corporate citizenship responsibility in Western Australia, which includes donating the Connections Gallery of Western Australian Museum, holding China-Australia inter-school economic and trade forums, funding Mandarin education projects, etc. She also appreciated that Tianqi Lithium has worked for better communications among local communities in Western Australia, which contributed to building Sino-Australian relations and popularizing Chinese culture.
