From December 16 to 18, 2025, Zhu Weida, Deputy General Manager of China Merchants Port Holdings Company Limited, led a delegation to Djibouti for a special inspection tour. The team visited key China Merchants Port projects on the ground, including the Djibouti International Free Trade Zone, the CMHD bonded logistics park, and the Doraleh Multipurpose Port (DMP), conducting on-site inspections focused on production safety and the operation of equipment and facilities. These efforts aimed to further tighten the "safety valve" for the stable operation of overseas projects.

During the visit, Zhu Weida also delivered a safety management training session for expatriate Chinese staff of China Merchants Port, helping enhance the safety management awareness and capabilities of frontline personnel, especially those in critical positions. He emphasized that production safety, risk prevention and control, and compliant operations must always be prioritized, with a constant sense of responsibility to safeguard the red lines of overseas operational safety—making safety the “lifeline” of project development and compliance the “hard support” for business advancement.

After listening to operational briefings from the Free Zone, PDSA/DMP, and CMHD projects, Zhu Weida expressed full recognition of the achievements made by each project in 2025. Following the meeting, he extended his regards to all expatriate Chinese staff of China Merchants Port Holdings Company Limited in Djibouti, encouraging them to continue upholding a spirit of perseverance and dedication, strengthen unity and cohesion, and further promote the steady and positive development of China Merchants Port's projects in Djibouti.

During the visit, Zhu Weida also paid a courtesy call on Ambassador Hu Bin of Djibouti, briefing him on the progress of China Merchants Port’s projects in Djibouti as well as ongoing efforts in production safety and risk prevention and control, and expressing appreciation for the Embassy’s long-standing support and guidance. He also presided over the commissioning ceremony of the TELLS project—the first large-scale manufacturing enterprise in the Djibouti International Free Trade Zone—and conducted site visits to China Merchants Shekou's Old Port redevelopment project and the Sinotrans Djibouti project.
