“We may have been delayed by the challenges brought about by the threat of COVID-19, but we won’t stop achieving our targets. We will not stop growing and we will look forward to the things that we have planned out to do prior to this pandemic. It’s not important what have happened in the past, the important thing is where are we heading. We will keep our priorities in focus.”
