Xi Jinping: We must mobilize party and government organs, people's organizations, enterprises and institutions, social organizations, and people from all walks of life in the eastern region to actively participate in poverty alleviation. It is necessary to increase industry efforts to drive poverty alleviation and focus on enhancing the self-development capabilities of poor areas. To promote the gradient transfer of eastern industries to the west, we must grasp the relationship between supply and demand and let the market speak.

  This remark comes from the speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping at the symposium on poverty alleviation between East and West on July 20, 2016.

  The speech of General Secretary Xi Jinping underlined the importance of industrial cooperation in poverty alleviation, guiding the direction of perfecting the pairing between the east and the west, deepening assistance, achieving mutual benefit and common development.

  Poverty alleviation cooperation and counterpart support between the East and the West is a major strategy for promoting coordinated regional development, coordinated development, and common development. It is a major layout for strengthening regional cooperation, optimizing industrial layout, and opening up new spaces both internally and externally. 3. A major move to eventually achieve the goal of common prosperity.

  Compared with the developed regions in the east, the poor regions in the west have a weak industrial foundation and insufficient resource endowment. Mobilizing all sectors of society and increasing cooperation between the eastern and western poverty alleviation industries will help to promote the orderly flow of production factors between the eastern and western regions, promote the gradient transfer of eastern industries to the western region, stimulate the development potential of the western region, and create conditions for self-development in the western region To form an effective mechanism for continuous anti-poverty and development promotion.

  The western region should enhance the sense of urgency and initiative, integrate and use all kinds of resources, improve the mechanism of benefit linkage between industry and poor households, let the market speak, and let everyone participate. Through the development of characteristic industries according to local conditions and other means, change "blood transfusion" into "blood production" to activate the endogenous impetus of the poor to get rid of poverty and achieve prosperity.

  The cooperation of poverty alleviation and counterpart support between the East and the West fully demonstrate our political and institutional advantages. Standing on the key points of a decisive victory and a well-off society, and decisive battle against poverty, we must grasp our work with greater determination, clearer ideas, and more precise measures.
