It embodies our vision of developing quality projects that strengthen and enhance the urban fabric of major cities across Asia. We are thankful for our close partnership with China Merchants Shekou Holdings, whose collaboration has helped provide a world-class destination for Chongqing, and we plan on being actively involved in the development of the city and Nanan District to continue building a first-class business district.”
