It will closely integrate the implementation of the above objectives with the exchanges and cooperation among RCEP member countries, and strive to create a new situation of win-win cooperation and high-quality development.

In order to seize the "window period" of RCEP, in recent years, Conch Group has actively "gone out", steadily promoted international development, and intensified economic and trade cooperation with RCEP countries, with a cumulative trade volume of 14 billion US dollars. Indonesia, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and other RCEP member countries have invested more than 13 billion yuan, and a number of major projects have "taken root" and "blossomed" in member countries, becoming the "double champion" of RCEP regional investment scale and capacity scale in the domestic cement industry.
