The State Council Researches the Key Tasks of Western Development

Sinochem New Network News Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council presided over the State Council executive meeting on the 7th to study the key tasks and policies and measures for the in-depth implementation of the Western Development Strategy.


The meeting pointed out that the implementation of the strategy for the development of the western region is a major decision made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council at the turn of the century. In the past decade, with the strong support of the country and the joint efforts of the cadres and the masses in the western region, great achievements have been made in the development of the western region. The economic and social development in the western region has been accelerating, historic changes have taken place in the urban and rural areas, and the people’s living standards have clearly improved, opening up a broader space for national development.


The conference emphasized that the next decade is a crucial period for the development of the western region. It must be based on strengthening the self-development capacity of the western region, and ensuring and improving people’s livelihood as the core. It should be supported by scientific and technological progress and human resources development to further improve policies and increase investment. We will strengthen our support and firmly implement in depth the strategy for the development of the western region. First, we must accelerate the development of society that focuses on improving people's livelihood. Give priority to the development of education, improve the capacity of medical and health services, do everything possible to expand employment, improve the level of social security, actively develop cultural and sports undertakings, and promote the equalization of basic public services. Second, it is necessary to insist on strengthening the "three rural" work as a top priority. We will improve basic agricultural production conditions, vigorously develop characteristic agriculture, and increase farmers' income levels. Strengthen the construction of rural infrastructure, and implement the "six-to-farm" project of water, roads, electricity, gas, houses and beautiful environment. Third, we must continue to prioritize infrastructure construction. Accelerate the construction of infrastructure such as transportation, energy, information, and municipal public facilities. In view of the engineering water shortage in the southwest region and the shortage of resources in the northwest region, a number of key water conservancy projects have been reasonably built. Fourth, we must build an ecological safety barrier that promotes sustainable development. Efforts will be made to promote the construction of key ecological areas and consolidate the achievements of returning farmland to forests and returning livestock to grassland. We will vigorously develop circular economy and energy-saving and environmental protection industries. All new projects must strictly control the ecological environment. Fifth, we must develop characteristic and advantageous industries. Actively and orderly undertake the transfer of international and domestic industries, turn resource advantages into industrial and competitive advantages, develop the energy industry, transform and upgrade the resource processing industry, enlarge and strengthen the equipment manufacturing industry, and accelerate the development of strategic emerging industries and modern service industries. Sixth, we must further increase the development of key regions in the western region. Efforts will be made to cultivate key economic zones with good economic foundations, strong resource and environmental carrying capacity, and great potential for development, forming a strategic highland for the development of the western region, and radiating and stimulating the development of the surrounding areas. Support poverty alleviation in the poor areas of the old and the young, and implement centralized development of special hard-to-find areas. Seventh, it is necessary to deepen the reform of the administrative management system, economic system, and social undertakings, comprehensively promote internal and external opening, and increase the level of development and opening up along the border.


The meeting discussed and approved in principle the "Revision Law of the People's Republic of China on Reserve Officer Law (Draft)" and decided that after the draft has been further amended, the State Council and the Central Military Commission shall submit a request to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for deliberation.
