Xi: CPC serves people wholeheartedly

Noting that Qinghai is strategically important in building an ecological civilization in which sustainable development is key, Xi urged officials to make all-out efforts to protect ecological resources, implement the national strategy for ecological conservation and build national parks.

Speaking at a meeting attended by senior local officials on Wednesday, Xi underlined the important role of Qinghai in protecting the country's ecological security, national security, and resource and energy security in the new development stage.

He called on the province to stick to low-carbon, green development and blaze a trail for high-quality development with local characteristics.

While implementing the strategic decisions of the CPC Central Committee in promoting the development of the western region and advancing the high-quality construction of the Belt and Road, Xi said that the province should actively integrate itself into the nation's regional development strategy, such as the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the ecological conservation and high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin, in order to drive its economic growth.

He underscored the strategic position of Qinghai in promoting the stability of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and the Tibet autonomous region, as the province is adjacent to both regions. He urged the province to fully carry out the Party's policies to promote ethnic unity and progress, and its guidelines for religious work.
