This has allowed us to build a strong reputation domestically and internationally, and has facilitated the interest from many international parties wanting to work with us. Today, we continue to benefit from our investment in corporate governance and believe that it will continue to pay off in the long term,”  saidMr Serge Pun, Executive Chairman of Yoma Strategic.
