In a significant move towards sustainable growth, President Xi Jinping has emphasized the importance of ecological conservation and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin during his recent inspection tour in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
Xi, who also serves as the general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), arrived in Ningxia on Wednesday following his inspection in Qinghai Province.
Situated within the Yellow River Basin, Ningxia is uniquely positioned with deserts encircling it on three sides, presenting formidable challenges for ecosystem conservation and restoration. The region's delicate balance requires innovative approaches to ensure both environmental protection and economic growth.
During his visit, Xi directed Ningxia authorities to synchronize high-quality development initiatives with robust environmental safeguards. He called for continued reforms and opening up, the advancement of new urbanization strategies, and the revitalization of rural areas. Additionally, Xi underscored the importance of fostering ethnic unity and striving for common prosperity among all residents of Ningxia.
These directives aim to create a harmonious balance between development and sustainability, ensuring that the Yellow River Basin remains a vital ecological and economic asset for the region and the broader nation.
