Visitors assured over stability in Xinjiang

People should not be concerned about visiting the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region despite a series of recent terrorist attacks, as the overall situation is stable and under control, the vice-chairman of the region said on Thursday.

Shi Dagang said Xinjiang had made stability its priority for years, had stepped up work to combat separatism and maintain social stability, focused on ethnic unity and prevented religious extremism.

These efforts had been made to construct a united, harmonious, prosperous, rich, civilized and livable region.
