In Zhu's acceptance speech, he expressed his hope that GSC will play a positive role in promoting the PV industry's development around the globe, by improving policy, technology, and investment simultaneously.

Earlier this October, Zhu invited global industry leaders to join the International Forum on Energy Transition and took them to visit the "Future Energy Forum" built by GCL. Zhu said: "In the near future, we will seek to initiate more theme activities in Southeast Asia, Western Asia, Africa, and Latin America, to support and promote photovoltaics' development in those emerging markets."
Under Zhu's leadership, GSC will also target standardized market development, easing malignant competition, resolving trade disputes, and driving a healthy industry ecosystem.
Zhu will encourage technology innovation in the PV industry, particularly among the intersection of multiple applied technologies, as well as new and traditional energy.
Moreover, Zhu suggested that GSC make practical efforts, such as forming a solar power development fund, to drive financial innovation.
"It's my greatest honor to be the President of GSC's second committee. I promise to leave no stone unturned to promote the global development of the PV industry," Zhu said.
