Chinese
President Xi Jinping on March 8 called for more efforts to implement the rural
revitalization strategy with the chief goal to modernize agriculture and rural
areas.
“The
top task for implementing the rural revitalization strategy is to ensure supply
of important farm produce, grain in particular,” said Xi, also general
secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the
Central Military Commission.
He
made the remarks when joining deliberation with deputies from Henan Province at
the second session of the 13th National People’s Congress, China’s national
legislature.
Efforts
should be made to promote the supply-side structural reform in the agricultural
sector to achieve food security while building a modern and efficient
agriculture, Xi added.
Xi
also called for enhanced protection of agriculture ecological environment and
prevention and treatment of pollution in rural areas.
Xi
stressed strict penalties on crimes involving food safety so as to ensure safe
farm produce for the public.
Efforts
should be made to strengthen the leadership of grassroots Party units in the
rural areas, Xi said, noting that the practices of rural residents’ self-governance
should be further explored.
Xi
also called for measures to promote two-way flow and equal exchange of factors,
including human resources, lands and capital, between urban and rural areas.
“The
task to eradicate extreme poverty must be fulfilled by 2020,” Xi stressed.
Implementation
of the rural revitalization strategy and seeking progress in work related with
agriculture, rural areas and farmers should be taken into consideration and
promoted in the overall economic and social development, Xi said.
Li
Keqiang, Wang Huning and Han Zheng -- members of the Standing Committee of the
Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee -- on March 8 also separately
joined deliberation with NPC deputies.
Premier
Li Keqiang stressed building a business environment that is fair and convenient
for enterprises under all forms of ownership, when joining a deliberation with
deputies from Hubei Province.
He
called for efforts to fully carry out the reforms of tax and fee cuts and
further stimulate the market vitality.
Wang
Huning, a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, asked
deputies from central China's Hunan Province to take bigger steps in pushing
forward high-quality development.
He
also called for taking a people-centered approach to further live up to
people’s new expectations for their cultural lives.
Joining
the deliberation of the Beijing delegation, Vice Premier Han Zheng underlined
deepening the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region to
further relieve Beijing of functions nonessential to its role as the capital.
