Going forward, we seek to build on our operations underpinned by our medium to long-term growth strategy, which will entail forging ahead with measures and reforms that address changes on the horizon such as those in the realm of digital transformation (DX) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We accordingly aim to achieve growth by expanding our operations as a result of consistently providing outstanding service backed by our unwavering mission of helping to propel economic and social development by connecting people and businesses amidst our drastically changing world.”
