On January 18, Biotech Pharma held its 2022 Annual Conference and Awards Ceremony, themed "Working Together, Moving Forward with Confidence." Attendees included Mr. Bai Xianhong, Chairman of Biotech Pharma; Carlos Miguel Pereira, Cuban Ambassador to China; a team of Cuban experts; as well as leaders and employees from various departments across Biotech Pharma—everyone came together to celebrate the occasion.

         At the beginning of the annual meeting, Mr. Bai Xianhong, Chairman of Biotech Pharma, delivered a speech, stating that 2022 was a year of significant progress—and also one filled with challenges—for Biotech Pharma. Despite recurring waves of the pandemic, the company achieved steady growth in its annual performance, thanks to the hard work and dedication of every employee. During this challenging period, departments across the organization came together, overcoming numerous obstacles to ensure uninterrupted drug production, effectively safeguarding patients' "lifeline." Mr. Bai also expressed special gratitude to the Cuban team, who traveled great distances to be here in China, providing critical support that kept the company running smoothly. Their presence not only ensured business continuity but also pointed the way forward, setting new directions and expectations for 2023 while outlining the priorities for the coming year.

         Mr. Renard delivered a speech on behalf of Vice Chairwoman Ms. Janette, during which he highlighted that, despite the numerous challenges in 2022, the experienced Baite team persevered with strength and resilience, achieving significant milestones. Not only did they deliver strong performance in production and sales, but they also laid a solid foundation for future growth—thanks to the joint efforts of both parties and their proactive response to the pandemic's disruptions. Additionally, he expressed deep gratitude to Baite for its vital contributions to Cuba’s economic development, public health, and sustainable social progress.

      Following his visit, Cuban Ambassador to China Carlos Miguel Pereira remarked that each of his two trips to China left him with unforgettable impressions. While marveling at China’s remarkable and rapid development, he also deeply appreciated the cherished and vital friendship between China and Cuba—especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, during which Baotai exported its products to Cuba, helping save hundreds of thousands of Cuban lives. As the new year begins, he expressed hope that China and Cuba will strengthen their collaboration in biotechnology, steadfastly deepen their bond of mutual trust and support, resolutely pursue mutually beneficial and win-win partnerships, and remain committed partners in reform and development.

        At the end of the annual meeting, leaders from Biotech Pharma presented awards to the outstanding employees of the year, the Cuban experts, the chef team, and staff who have provided long-term service to Baite. We are confident that, with their consistent dedication and steady progress as always, every employee at Biotech Pharma will seize the opportunities in 2023, embarking on a new journey and writing a remarkable chapter in the company’s history. With this, the grand Biotech Pharma 2022 Annual Meeting came to a successful close.
