Amid the crisp mountain air of Lhasa, a central delegation led by Wang Huning touched down on Thursday, marking a high-profile visit days before the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Xizang Autonomous Region. The trip, entrusted by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, is set to highlight efforts in stability, development, environmental protection and frontier strengthening.
First stop: meetings with city officials and representatives from various ethnic communities. Here, Wang Huning underscored the four major tasks that will shape Xizang's next chapter—ensuring social stability, accelerating economic growth, safeguarding fragile ecosystems and reinforcing the region's frontiers.
At the revered Jokhang Temple, the delegation sat down with patriotic figures from Xizang's religious circles. Wang urged them to champion national unity and ethnic solidarity, playing an active role in building a modern socialist Xizang that balances tradition with progress.
Education and ecology were next on the agenda. At Xizang University, officials showcased new programs designed to nurture local talent in fields from renewable energy to digital innovation. Nearby, a stroll through a freshly planted park offered a glimpse of the region's ambitious greening campaign, where saplings and native shrubs are breathing new life into urban spaces.
Focus on people's welfare rounded out the visit. Wang highlighted the importance of boosting employment, raising incomes and driving common prosperity, ensuring that development benefits resonate across communities in Lhasa and beyond.
With ceremonies for the region's diamond jubilee on the horizon, this visit sets the tone for a year of celebrations and renewed commitment to Xizang's sustainable growth and social harmony.
