Rio Tinto's new CEO: China remains the largest market and will increase procurement in China

During the China Development Forum, Rio Tinto Group Chief Executive Officer Jean-Sébastien Jacques stated that for Rio Tinto, China will remain our largest market and a market where we will continue to deepen our presence. We hope to carefully consider our own business development to ensure we can contribute to the “15th Five-Year Plan.” In Jacques’s view, Rio Tinto’s continuous increase in procurement expenses in China reflects three profound meanings: first, the increasingly mature Chinese supply chain; second, Rio Tinto’s firm confidence in China’s future development; third, the continuous exploration of cooperation models between the two parties, and this cooperative experience will be applied throughout Rio Tinto’s global business landscape.
