Let the production start. That would be for Toyota Camrys that would be actually built in China. The Toyota Camrys that would be built in this country would be done in cooperation with the Guangzhou Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. or more commonly known as GTMC which actually is a joint vehicle production and sales company of both Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd. and Toyota.

The production of this Toyota sedan has already started and as part of it all, there was a celebration and ceremony for a good business ahead. The ceremony were attended by approximately 1,400 people. The whole throng of attendees included local and central government officials, Japanese government officials, a variety of suppliers and dealers, and people from the media. Also there were Guangzhou Automobile Chairman Zhang Fangyou, Toyota Motor Company President Katsuaki Watanabe, and GTMC President Toru Kuzuhara, as well as the GTMC's Executive Vice President Yuan Zhongrong.

The start of the ceremony was graced with a few words from GTMC President Kuzuhara. He stated, "We will strive to continually set and achieve high goals without losing sight of the need to approach learning with a sense of modesty. With your help and cooperation we hope to grow and be recognized as a good corporate citizen as soon as possible by the people of Nansha, Guangzhou and indeed all of China. We will work to build a bright, fun and energetic workplace so that we can contribute to further development of society and better lifestyles for all concerned."

TMC President Watanabe also had some words to impart: "I firmly believe that the Camry will be just as successful in living up the expectations of Chinese customers as it has been throughout the rest of the world. Although Toyota already has more than 40 years of experience in China, joining together with Guangzhou Automobile affords us the opportunity to plan even further business development in the country. At the same time, we hope to be able to contribute to the further development of the Chinese automotive industry through such things as sharing Toyota's technology."
