"Our international sales team has already built a good market foundation in some Southeast Asian countries. We believe that MDK's mature sales network for medical devices will make this a mutually beneficial agreement."
"As part of our growth strategy, we will continue to expand our sales network in Southeast Asia, which is one of the most attractive overseas markets for China Sky One Medical due to its geographical and cultural proximity to China," Mr. Liu added.
