Xi's speech at CIIE draws positive reactions
Stephen Badger, chairman of Board of Directors, Mars Inc
CIIE is a platform that goes beyond China; it is a truly global event driving development across all Chinese industries by promoting cooperation among government and business entities as well as globalization and trade liberalization. As President Xi Jinping touched on in his Nov 5 speech, we will only realize our shared future in this new era by supporting economic globalization, global opening up and inclusive development — all principles that Mars stands by as well.
As China represents one of our most important markets, we are committed to building sustainable value in partnership with Chinese stakeholders through our mutuality principle and offering consumers a greater variety of products, brands and categories. As we demonstrated at CIIE with our comprehensive portfolio of healthy yet delicious snacks, foods and pet food, Mars is committed to realizing a better world for people and pets based on our belief tomorrow starts today.
