They explored how to leverage their respective strengths to provide more competitive products, solutions, and services for financial customers' digital transformation, while strengthening their industry-leading positions. They also reached consensus on further pragmatic cooperation and establishing a strategic partnership.

The signing of this strategic agreement marks a new milestone in the collaboration between GBase and Yusys Technologies. It represents a significant leap toward fully leveraging their respective strengths, deepening mutual understanding and trust, aligning across all cooperation areas, and integrating business channels to achieve comprehensive collaboration. Going forward, they will advance cooperation in four specific areas: products, market, ecosystem, and talent.
