“We need to leverage the rich phosphate resources available locally, optimize the extraction of high-grade ores, and adhere to the development concept of ‘grounded in phosphates, maximizing phosphates, and not solely relying on phosphates.’ This approach will promote the coupled development of phosphate chemicals, coal chemicals, fluorine chemicals, and copper smelting.” This was stated by Hong Hupeng, a national representative and the Secretary of the Qiannan Buyei and Miao Autonomous Prefecture Committee of Guizhou Province, during the open group meeting of the Guizhou delegation at the Third Session of the 14th National People’s Congress held on the morning of March 6.
