On the 23rd, Hao Peng, director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, introduced at a press conference held by the State Council Information Office that at present, the overseas assets of central enterprises are about 8 trillion yuan, with more than 180 global assets. There are more than 8,000 institutions and projects in three countries and regions, and 1.25 million overseas employees.

During the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, the overseas operating income of central enterprises exceeded 24 trillion yuan, the total profit was close to 600 billion yuan, and the rate of return on foreign investment reached 6.7%.

  On the 23rd, the State Council Information Office held a press conference on the reform and development of state-owned enterprises and answered questions from reporters.

Hao Peng made the above reply when introducing the specific situation of the international operation of central enterprises.

  Hao Peng also pointed out that in terms of specific results, the international operation of central enterprises is mainly reflected in three aspects:

  First, the participation in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" has achieved fruitful results.

Central SOEs participated in the construction of more than 3,400 projects along the “Belt and Road”, building a number of landmark projects such as the Mombasa-Nairobi Railway, Hungary-Serbia Railway, Brazil’s Beautiful Mountain UHV Transmission Project, and the Port of Piraeus in Greece. The column has also become a "steel camel team" that penetrates Asia and Europe.

The overseas service network of communication companies has spread to more than 40 countries. The construction and operation of more than 20 industrial parks including the China-Belarus Industrial Park has effectively deepened industrial cooperation with countries and regions along the route.

  Second, the ability and level of central enterprises' international operations have been significantly improved.

A group of central enterprises have forged the strength to compete with multinational enterprises.

In the formulation of international standards, they have mastered more voices. In particular, a batch of state-owned enterprises such as high-speed rail and nuclear power have come out of the country and become a beautiful business card for my country.

  The third is to effectively promote the economic and social development of the country where the project is located.

It directly drives the employment of nearly one million employees in the project location and indirectly drives several times the number of employees.

Participated in the implementation of a large number of projects that benefit the people, such as the Qasim Power Station in Pakistan, which has brought light to more than 4 million families.

The Côte d’Ivoire water supply project will benefit 2.3 million civilians after its completion.

  Hao Peng mentioned that in the future, we will also focus on building a new development pattern with domestic and international cycles as the main body and mutual promotion of domestic and international double cycles, unswervingly increase opening and cooperation, and strive to promote central enterprises to go further on the road to internationalization. Stable, more solid and better.

  "More stable" means to unblock the cooperation channels so that the central enterprises can make steady progress on the road of international development.

Adhere to the principles of voluntariness, equality, and mutual benefit, actively expand cooperation with companies from all over the world, prevent and resolve various risks in overseas projects, and make overall plans for epidemic prevention and control and production and operation.

The overseas epidemic has always been at a high risk. Overseas companies have 1.25 million Chinese and foreign employees, of which nearly 300,000 Chinese employees.

Central SOEs have been making great efforts in epidemic prevention and control and production and operation. Up to now, no overseas employees have died due to the epidemic.

  "Be more pragmatic" means to enhance the function of cooperation and adhere to the principle of marketization to promote pragmatic cooperation.

It is necessary to grasp the opportunities of my country's signing of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement and the China-EU Investment Agreement, innovate the model of investment cooperation and development, and further deepen cooperation in infrastructure, industry, economy and trade, technological innovation, and public health.

  "Better" means striving for better results and continuously achieving win-win and multi-win cooperation results.

It is necessary to actively build a number of major projects and industrial parks with good comprehensive benefits and strong leading role, implement more people's livelihood projects, and help the "Belt and Road" build a road of cooperation, health, recovery, and growth.

  Hao Peng said, "In short, we will promote central enterprises to adhere to extensive consultation, joint construction and sharing, better utilize their advantages and expertise, strengthen practical cooperation with business communities and entrepreneurs of various countries, and make state-owned assets for building a community with a shared future for mankind and enhancing the well-being of all peoples. The greater contribution of central enterprises."
