Hideki Ozawa, president and CEO of Canon China

The keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the China International Import Expo demonstrated China's determination in adhering to high-level opening-up and China's confidence in deepening exchanges and cooperation with the international community.

The stability and resilience of the Chinese market have provided a first-class business environment.

The CIIE has provided an excellent platform for multi-level exchanges and cooperation and injected strong confidence in foreign companies including Canon.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Canon China. Canon is constantly increasing its R&D and production efforts in China, accelerating its localization push as well as actively integrating into China's new dual-circulation development paradigm. In the future, we will continue to invest more to drive growth in Canon's business in China and fully support the high-quality development of the Chinese economy, while moving toward the goal of becoming the No 1 sales company within the whole Canon Group by 2035.
