year and the renewal of everything. On behalf of China Cement Association, I would like to extend New Year's greetings to all members of China Cement Association and colleagues in the cement industry at this beautiful moment of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new! I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all friends from all walks of life who care about and support the development of the cement industry!
2024 is the key year to achieve the objectives and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Over the past year, in the face of the complex and severe situation of increasing external pressure and internal difficulties, the Party Central Committee, with Comrade Xi Jinping as its core, has calmly responded to the situation and taken comprehensive measures. The overall economic operation has been stable, steady and progressive, high-quality development has been steadily promoted, new quality productive forces have been steadily developed, reform and opening-up have been continuously deepened, and risks in key areas have been resolved in an orderly and effective manner. New and solid steps have been taken in Chinese-style modernization.
The national cement market demand has been declining for three consecutive years, and the "involution" vicious competition has resulted in a cliff-like decline in industry efficiency and an expansion of enterprise losses. Cement people have always been not afraid of difficulties, in the current market downturn situation, but also to firm determination, high morale. With the strong support of the competent authorities and industry associations, we will continue to strengthen industry self-discipline, maintain the healthy ecology of the industry, normalize the implementation of peak staggering production, and constantly adhere to the transformation and development to high-end, intelligent, green and integrated direction. The Third Plenary Session of the 20th
CPC Central Committee and a series of recent strategic plans of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to boost the economy have sounded the clarion call for China's economy to speed up again. One of the key tasks in 2025 is to lead the development of new productive forces with scientific and technological innovation and build a modern industrial system. Scientific and technological innovation is the key to the high-quality development of the cement industry. Coinciding with the 200th anniversary of the birth of Portland cement, the continuous scientific and technological innovation of the cement industry has brought about the transformation of the production mode of enterprises and ultimately achieved high-quality development. Scientific and technological workers in the cement industry should look to the future, recognize the development trend, strengthen their confidence in development, rationally explore ways of scientific and technological innovation in China's cement industry in the new era, and promote the development of the industry to reproduce new brilliance.
2025 is the closing year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. Doing a good job throughout the year is of great significance for fulfilling the objectives and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan with high quality and promoting the realization of Chinese-style modernization. The cement industry's incorporation into the national carbon emissions trading market has also entered the countdown, and the demand for carbon reduction is urgent. We should thoroughly implement the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on carbon peak and carbon neutralization, and apply the relevant technologies of carbon reduction, carbon reduction, zero carbon and carbon sequestration to production. Only by intensifying the transformation, daring to explore and innovate, can we make early transformation and early profits.
The spirit snake sends the auspicious sign, the years unfold the new chapter. I believe that the current difficulties faced by the cement industry are temporary. I hope that the cement workers can work hard, dare to be the first, do their work well in a down-to-earth manner, contribute to the local economic development, and realize the value of the industry with achievements, contributions and status.
