Rio Tinto's new CEO: China remains the largest market, will increase procurement in China.

During the China Development Forum, CEO of Rio Tinto Group, Joe, stated that China will continue to be our largest market, and one that we will continue to focus on. We hope to carefully consider our own business development and ensure that we can contribute to the "15th Five-Year Plan". In Joe's view, the continuous increase in Rio Tinto's procurement volume in China reflects three important meanings: first, the maturity of China's supply chain; second, Rio Tinto's strong confidence in China's future development; and third, the continuous exploration of the cooperation model between the two parties, which will be applied to Rio Tinto's global business operations.
