reform and opening up, unleash to the maximum the whole society's power for

Fujian must leverage the combined
strengths of the special economic zone, pilot free trade zone, comprehensive
experimental zone and the core zone of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, and
keep exploring new approaches, Xi said.
Xi called for efforts to explore new
ways for integrated development across the Taiwan Strait.
The two sides of the Taiwan Strait
should enhance economic and trade cooperation, infrastructure connectivity,
energy and resource exchanges, and shared industry standards, he said.
Cross-Strait cooperation and
cultural exchanges should be strengthened, he added.
Xi stressed the importance of
implementing the people-centered development concept in the work on Taiwan,
urging efforts to benefit Taiwan compatriots in the same way as people on the
mainland are served.
He encouraged listening to the voice
of Taiwan compatriots and research on what other policies and measures can be
introduced to bring them benefits.
Xi said that this year marks the
70th anniversary of the founding of New China, and it is necessary to ensure
that no one in the country's old revolutionary base areas falls behind in the
process of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
He called for adherence to targeted
poverty alleviation and efforts to identify the root causes of poverty to
enhance the effectiveness of anti-poverty measures.
More efforts should be put into
coordinating economic development with ecological protection, Xi said.

task set by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core.

market-oriented, law-based and international, providing an even stronger legal
guarantee for high-level opening up.
Deliberating with the delegation

the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, called for efforts to
further maintain law and order, improve the quality of poverty alleviation
