On behalf of the Sichuan Provincial Economic and Information Department, he extended a warm welcome to the delegates and expressed his concern for the development of Sichuan vanadium titanium steel industry for a long time. Sichuan vanadium reserves account for about 63% of the total reserves in China, most of which are concentrated in Panxi area of Sichuan Province. In the province’s layout of “one trunk line, multiple branches and five districts’ cooperation”, Panxi economic zone has proposed to focus on building world-class vanadium, titanium, rare earth and other industrial clusters. The vanadium industry of Pangang Group ranks first in China and in the world. Relying on the advantages of Panxi vanadium and titanium resources, Tranvic Group, Desheng Group, Dagang and other backbone enterprises have accelerated the development of vanadium industry, forming an annual output of 25000 tons of vanadium oxide and 250000 tons of vanadium slag (standard slag), and accelerating the industrialization of vanadium battery. At the same time, in order to implement the provincial Party committee and government’s decision on accelerating the construction of a “5 + 1” modern industrial system and accelerating the development of vanadium and titanium featured and advantageous industries, the Economic and Information Department plans to issue the implementation opinions on supporting the high-quality development of vanadium and titanium featured and advantageous industries, focusing on improving the comprehensive utilization rate of vanadium and titanium resources, enriching the product structure of vanadium industry, and adhering to green intelligent development. To further enhance the competitiveness and innovation of vanadium and titanium industry in our province, and accelerate the high-quality development of vanadium and titanium industries, we should build regional brands of vanadium and titanium products, expand the application fields of vanadium and titanium products, and promote the construction of vanadium and titanium innovation and development system. Finally, I wish this forum a complete success. I wish you all good health and everything goes well.
