Central State-owned enterprises will make greater efforts in technology innovation and promotion in 2013.

Xu Dazhe, general manager at China Aerospace Science & Industry Corporation, said CASIC is trying to establish itself as a top global aerospace defense enterprise by promoting key businesses including the establishment of a missile system and army-civilian integration projects.

"This year our company should be well prepared to expand at a stable speed and promote the development of national defense equipment," Xu said.
