This year, the Association will complete the change of the Council, hoping that all units will cooperate to support the work of the Association and successfully complete the change of the Council. President Gao pointed out that China's cement industry should focus on three aspects in 2024. First, firmly grasp the scientific and technological innovation. Scientific and technological innovation is the most fundamental driving force for the high-quality development of the industry. The two is to drastically reduce production capacity. With the increasing situation of overcapacity, it is imperative to reduce overcapacity. The association should carry out relevant work and promote government departments to introduce relevant policies. Third, we should adhere to industry self-discipline. On the surface, the intensification of competition in the industry is a decline in demand, but in fact it is a lack of mutual trust. Great efforts should be made to manage the competitive environment of the industry and establish a good industry ecology. A total of 122 directors (with an attendance rate of 80%) and 4 supervisors (with an attendance rate of 67%) attended
