Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 24: Premier Li Qiang of the State Council attended the opening ceremony of the 2024 Annual Conference of the China Development Forum in Beijing on March 24 and delivered a keynote speech.
Li Qiang said that the theme of this annual meeting is "Sustainable Development of China", which is not only an objective description of China's long-term economic development, but also fully reflects the concerns and expectations of all walks of life for China's long-term economic stability and high-quality development. In the past year, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, we withstood external pressure, overcame internal difficulties, and successfully completed the main goals and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year. The economic rebound has continued to consolidate and strengthen, and new industries, new models, and new drivers have accelerated their growth and growth. China's economy has strong resilience, great potential, and vitality, and its long-term positive fundamentals have not changed.
Li Qiang pointed out that the majority of enterprises are participants and contributors to China's sustainable economic development, as well as witnesses and beneficiaries. We have always regarded respecting the market and serving enterprises as an important starting point for planning economic work and an important focus for implementing economic policies. We have always been a companion and good partner on the road of enterprise development and growth. Especially since last year, we have further improved and optimized our services, established a regular communication mechanism with enterprises, conscientiously responded to and resolved the concerns of enterprises, and actively built an institutional mechanism that better combines effective markets and promising governments. I believe that the mutual trust and two-way commitment between the government and enterprises will surely lead to a powerful synergy that can lead to win-win development.
Li Qiang pointed out that currently, the international environment is undergoing profound changes and world economic development is facing many severe challenges. China will take pragmatic and effective actions to promote high-quality development and inject more certainty and positive energy into the recovery and stable development of the world economy. We will increase the intensity of macroeconomic policy adjustments, strengthen policy coordination, and ensure that we work in the same direction and form synergy. We will focus on expanding domestic demand, further promote the construction of a unified national market, vigorously promote new people-oriented urbanization, and promote large-scale equipment updates and the replacement of large quantities of durable consumer goods. Accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system, insist on promoting industrial innovation through scientific and technological innovation, coordinate the promotion of the upgrading of traditional industries, the growth of emerging industries, and the cultivation of future industries, and accelerate the development of new quality productivity. We will continue to promote green transformation and unswervingly follow the path of ecological priority and green development. We must address both the symptoms and root causes and properly prevent and resolve various risks and hazards to promote the long-term, sustainable and healthy development of China's economy.
Li Qiang said that today's Chinese economy has been deeply integrated with the world economy. We will continue to create a market-oriented, legal and international first-class business environment, further deepen reforms in key areas and key links, strive to improve the efficiency of government services, protect the legitimate rights and interests of various enterprises in accordance with the law, steadily promote institutional opening up, and continue to achieve higher standards Horizontal open linked world. A more open China will definitely bring more opportunities for win-win cooperation to the world. We are willing to share the great opportunities for China's sustainable development with the world and work with all parties to create a bright future of common development.
