A1 Panasonic regards the CIIE as a strategic global exhibition and an important platform for communication with the world. To share the opportunities, we look forward to showcasing Panasonic's products, technologies and solutions in the environmental business field through the CIIE, and boosting exchanges with the government and other enterprises.

A2 The resilience of China's economy amid the COVID-19 pandemic is obvious to all and it plays a positive role in promoting the rebound of the global economy. The CIIE, which is held as scheduled, shows China's determination and willingness to open up further to the outside world and increases our confidence to participate in the exhibition.

A3 China is gradually transforming into a country with abundant consumption and strong engineering and innovation capabilities while maintaining its position as a world-leading manufacturing country. The country has a huge domestic market, a complete system of industrial chains and supply chains, and a strong ability to accept new technologies, which offers great potential for economic development.

A4 China has put forward dual carbon goals. Developing green and innovative products and building green industrial chains are crucial to accelerating the pace of low-carbon transformation. With the slogan of "Panasonic Green Impact", our company is leveraging its product and technology strengths in environmental protection to contribute to carbon neutrality.

A5 From the Foreign Investment Law and the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) to other opening-up policies, Panasonic has really felt that China's business environment has been continuously optimized. As China pursues high-quality development, in the future, we will strengthen our cooperation with outstanding Chinese and foreign companies and enhance our localization level to achieve win-win growth.
