Prosperity of Xinjiang region

From April 27 to 30, President Xi Jinping visited villages, troops, local police stations, and mosques in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region.

Maintaining social stability and prolonged peace is the general objective for work in Xinjiang at present, Xi said during his visit, which focused on Kashgar and southern Xinjiang, an area that has suffered from attacks by terrorists and extremists.

Xi also inspected the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Founded in 1954, the semi-military governmental organization shoulders the dual task of production and security. It has transformed the vast bare wasteland into a green oasis and built some modern towns in the region.
