Vale, a global mining company, said it welcomed China's latest resolve to further open to the rest of the world.

Tracy Xie, president of Vale China, said the country's resolve to further high-level opening-up is a very encouraging message and positive signal to Vale as China is now Vale's largest market in the world.

"We appreciate very much all the great support the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) has provided to us in helping our company grow and develop in China," she said.

"As a long-term partner of China for almost half a century, Vale will continue to make our contribution in China's great journey to decarbonizing its iron and steel industry and achieving its dual carbon goals through a portfolio of high-quality products and innovative technological solutions."

We look forward to transforming the future together with China, she added.
