In total, we have 880 Chinese campers for this year's event, the 28th Bluestar International Summer Camp.
In the camp, the young campers will share and strive for their dreams, and people from home and abroad will share their cultures and build friendship. The Bluestar International Summer Camp, an annual event, has now become a much anticipated event every year. During the camp period, kids from different countries will be together day and night at Bluestar, our shared home. Besides kids from France, Norway, and KraussMaffei of Germany, we also have campers from Pirelli, Italy.
At the opening ceremony, ChemChina Deputy General Manager Ren Jianming spoke on behalf of Chairman Ren Jianxin that over the past 28 years, the Bluestar summer camp grew from an event of only a dozen campers to one that hosts nearly 1,000 campers, its scale expanded from only one camp in Lanzhou to 18 sub camps across China, and its coverage extended from only Chinese member companies to eight overseas subsidiaries around the world. The summer camp has been inclusive and open to kids of ChemChina employees all over the world, sowing seeds for a bright future of the chemical industry and building a bridge for cultural exchanges”. Over the years, ChemChina has been adhering to its inclusive corporate culture and invited companies from around the world to join the big family. Subsidiaries from different backgrounds have been in great harmony thanks to mutual respect, trust and inclusiveness. This is the foundation of our culture and the source of the theme of our summer camp.

He also hoped that the group activities, shows of various cultures, stays in Chinese homes, and Chinese Kungfu shows would help campers learn to understand, care for, and help others and that such activities would tell them how to respect others and keep harmonious interpersonal relationships.
