On the morning of July 16, 2025, the 2025 World Potash and Potassium Fertilizer Conference & Golmud Salt Lake Forum grandly opened in Golmud City, Qinghai Province. With the theme of "Green Innovation, Digital Intelligence Empowerment, and Joint Construction of a World-Class Salt Lake Industrial Base", this conference explores cutting-edge technologies for the efficient development, circular utilization and digital transformation of salt lake resources, conveys China's green achievements in the salt lake industry to the world, and demonstrates the determination and strength in building a world-class salt lake industrial base.

As the only law firm participating in the 2025 World Potash Conference & Golmud Salt Lake Forum, TAHOTA Xining Office made a glorious appearance at this top-tier global event in the salt lake sector, armed with in-depth insights into the salt lake industry and professional legal service solutions. Since the conference kicked off on July 16, our booth has remained one of the focal points at the venue. Representatives from salt lake enterprises, scientific research institutions, and industry associations both at home and abroad have successively stopped by for exchanges. Our legal team, with professional competence and enthusiastic attitudes, has conducted in-depth discussions with every visitor on the legal pain points and demands in the development of the salt lake industry.

Rooted in Qinghai for many years, our firm has always been deeply engaged in the field of legal services for the salt lake industry. We fully recognize that salt lake resources are not only Qinghai’s "golden calling card" but also a strategic cornerstone safeguarding national food security and the development of the new energy industry. With the accelerated advancement of the construction of a world-class salt lake industrial base, enterprises are facing increasingly complex legal challenges in resource development, ecological protection, compliant operation, cross-border cooperation, and other aspects — ranging from the compliance control of mining right approval to the prevention of legal risks in ecological environmental protection; from the resolution of contract disputes in the upper and lower reaches of the industrial chain to the intellectual property layout in cross-border technological cooperation. Every link requires precise legal support. Based on the in-depth deconstruction of the entire industrial chain of the salt lake industry, we have established an exclusive legal service team for the salt lake sector. Members of the team possess both profound legal expertise and rich industry experience, enabling them to accurately grasp policy orientations and industrial trends.

At this exhibition, we focused on showcasing the "full-lifecycle legal service product" tailored specifically for salt lake enterprises. Among its modules, the compliance audit module provides comprehensive compliance reviews for links such as salt lake mining, production, and waste discharge. It identifies potential legal risks in advance to ensure enterprises operate steadily within the legal framework at all times. The dispute resolution solution leverages the collaborative network of TAHOTA’s over 30 branch offices nationwide, providing efficient and pragmatic approaches for enterprises to address various disputes, including those related to resource ownership, contract breaches, and environmental pollution torts. The strategic development support focuses on enterprises' needs such as capacity expansion, mergers and acquisitions, and cross-border cooperation, providing legal services including due diligence, transaction structure design, and policy interpretation to help enterprises seize development opportunities.

During the exhibition, Partner Wang Jing of our firm stated in the exchange: "The high-quality development of the salt lake industry cannot do without the safeguard of the rule of law. Taking this conference as an opportunity, TAHOTA Xining Office will further deepen the linkage with salt lake enterprises and embed legal services into every key node of industrial development." Moving forward, we will continue to focus on the new needs and new challenges of the salt lake industry, constantly iterate our legal service products, and inject legal momentum into the construction of a world-class salt lake industrial base with professional, efficient and innovative legal services.
