Zhang Gongyan, chairman and general manager of Shougang Group, said: “Beijing Shougang Park has deep roots in the city. The Shougang Group started operations here 100 years ago and it has played a key part in China’s modern industrial development. It is now a time of unprecedented opportunities; we are supporting the Winter Olympics, involved in ecological and heritage conservation and business transformation projects. Shougang Park is regarded as the new landmark of the capital city’s revival and an important service provider for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Our partnership with Shangri-La Group will allow us to not only boost Shougang Park’s role in the Beijing Olympics, but I am confident together we can raise the bar to contribute even more to the city’s growth.”
Hui Kuok, chairman of Shangri-La Group, said: “Beijing continues to be a very important market for Shangri-La Group. We are committed to deepening our investment and being part of Beijing’s renewed growth plans. We are also deeply honored to partner with Shougang Group and bring our unique brand of Asian hospitality services and products to the partnership. The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics will be a historic occasion for the host city of Beijing, and equally for us at Shangri-La, as we open our doors to welcome the international sports community coming for the Games.”
Wang Yue, deputy chief of the Beijing Culture and Tourism Bureau, and Ke Yongguo, deputy head of the Shijingshan district government, also recognized the partnership between Shougang and Shangri-La as a win-win collaboration. It is expected to bring mutual trust and benefit to the two companies and contribute greatly to the development of Shijingshan district and the economic growth of Beijing.
