On the morning of September 30, 2024, China Minmetals held a flag-raising ceremony at Minmetals Plaza, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and wishing the great motherland prosperity. Chen Dexin, President and Deputy Party Group Secretary of China Minmetals, attended the ceremony and delivered a speech. Wang Jiezhi, Deputy Party Group Secretary and Board member of China Minmetals, presided over the flag-raising ceremony which was attended by other members of the Party Group of China Minmetals. 
At 9:00 a.m., three flag raisers took strong and firm steps, guarding the Five-Starred Red Flag towards the flag-raising platform. Amidst the majestic national anthem, the bright Five-Starred Red Flag rose slowly, fluttering in the wind. All on-site personnel stood solemnly and sang the national anthem together, expressing their love and good wishes for the great motherland. 
Chen Dexin pointed out in his speech that China Minmetals, as a key state-owned enterprise directly managed by the central government, had always been growing and making progress together with the great motherland, sharing the same breath and destiny with the great era. At the beginning of its establishment, China Minmetals fulfilled its responsibilities for the country and shared the concerns of the Party. To be specific, it broke through the Western economic blockade and trade embargo and became a main channel for importing and exporting metallic mineral products, hardware products and building materials in China. It provided a large amount of important materials which were urgently needed for national construction. Since the reform and opening-up, China Minmetals has emancipated its mind and changed its concept, becoming one of the earliest enterprises to "go global". It successfully transformed itself from a traditional trading enterprise into a multinational metals and minerals group. It has become an enterprise in the Fortune Global 500 list and ranked among the top 100 in the list for five consecutive years. In the new era, China Minmetals has always followed the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and firmly undertaken its original mission of "serving and reinvigorating the country through the metals and minerals industry". It has taken the lead in opening up a whole industry chain channel from resource acquisition to exploration & survey, design & construction, mining & beneficiation, smelting & processing, and to trade logistics around the globe. By continuously making its core business stronger, better and bigger, China Minmetals is entering a new stage of high-quality development. 
Chen Dexin emphasized that in the face of severe and complex internal and external situations and arduous reform and development tasks, we should deeply study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and have a profound understanding of the decisive significance of "establishing Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era". We should firmly uphold Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and uphold the Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership. Besides, we should further enhance core functions, improve core competitiveness, and give full play to the role of technological innovation, industrial control and safety support in building a modern industrial system and fostering a new development pattern. In addition, we should fully implement the "Five Core Principles", spare no effort to promote the "Five Action Plans", and accelerate the construction of the "Five Types of China Minmetals". We should focus on building a world-class powerhouse with global competitiveness in the metals and minerals industry, work to write a new chapter of China Minmetals on the Chinese path to modernization, and make greater contributions to the building of a powerful country and national rejuvenation. 
The ceremony was also attended by non-leadership executives, heads of headquarter departments and the leadership team members and employee representatives of some directly-managed enterprises, of China Minmetals.
