She said that this year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of CMAC. For a long time, the authority and impartiality of CMAC has been highly recognized by the domestic and foreign industries, and the rate of cancellation and non-enforcement is almost zero. The development of CMAC is the result of the efforts of several generations of people, thanks to a fair, honest and professional team of arbitrators and secretaries, as well as the social concerns and supports. The rich experience accumulated in 60 years of exploration and practice, the profound arbitration culture and the principles and values of arbitration in line with international standards run through all CMAC's work, laying a foundation and providing a guarantee for the improvement of arbitration credibility. CMAC will make unremitting efforts to promote its development and center construction. She pointed out that the establishment of a third-party arbitration evaluation mechanism is of great significance and far-reaching influence. It can not only promote arbitration institutions to improve their mechanisms, improve their services and enhance their credibility, but also promote the social understanding of arbitration, expand the international influence of China's arbitration, improve the modern arbitration system, and further promote the development of arbitration. Finally, she said that with the unremitting efforts of the project sponsors, the second Arbitration Credibility Evaluation Report Project has become more objective and quantitative. She hoped that the project will be better and better, the index system construction will be improved, and the scientific, objective and fair standards will always be adhered to, so as to truly realize the value and goals of the project.
