That afternoon, Wu Weihua also attended the Symposium on the Construction of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle.

  In his speech, Wu Weihua pointed out that the overseas Chinese from Sichuan and Chongqing are always concerned about their motherland and their hometowns. Led by overseas Chinese groups, overseas Chinese leaders and overseas Chinese businessmen, they play an important role in the economic and social development of Sichuan and Chongqing by actively exerting their unique advantages, contributing to scientific and technological innovation and industrial upgrading of the two places, building bridges for opening to the outside world and foreign cooperation and exchanges, and contributing generously to charity and social undertakings. At present, the central government proposes to build the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle, which brings unprecedented development opportunities for Sichuan and Chongqing, and also offers a broader stage for the development of overseas Chinese in Sichuan and Chongqing. The purpose of this conference is to enhance friendship and discuss development to seek the common ground between high-quality development of Sichuan and Chongqing and career development of overseas Chinese. It is hoped that the guests will inherit and carry forward the fine tradition, give full play to their own advantages, and make new contributions to the construction of the economic circle and the creation of a better life.

  Wu Weihua stressed that General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out at the symposium of scientists that China's economic and social development and people's livelihood improvement depend on scientific and technological solutions more than ever before, so it is necessary to strengthen innovation as the most important driver. Sichuan and Chongqing boast a large number of scientific and technological workers, solid industrial foundation, strong innovation abilities, high degree of opening, great development potential and abundant resources related to overseas Chinese, so they have basic conditions for competing with international advanced levels in some fields. It is hoped that all the guests will contribute wisdom and strength to "building a scientific and technological innovation center with national influence" in face of the world's scientific and technological frontiers and the economic battlefield and major requirements of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.

  Yin Li, on behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, extended welcome to guests attending the event online and offline. He said that Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle is a major national regional development strategy personally planned, personally deployed and personally promoted by General Secretary Xi Jinping. It is of great significance for the formation of an important growth pole of high-quality development in the western part of China. It will promote the shaping of a new development pattern dominated by domestic circulation and supported domestic and international double circulation that promotes each other. This event sets up a broad platform for all parties to learn from each other, exchange and cooperate, and will certainly inject strong impetus into the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. Sichuan will fully implement the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, further strengthen docking and cooperation with Chongqing, and unify wisdom and strength of all parties to serve the construction of the economic circle. It is hoped that experts and scholars will actively offer advice and suggestions and give play to their unique advantages around the major theoretical and practical problems in the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. It is hoped that the Cooperation Alliance of Sichuan and Chongqing Overseas Chinese-Related Business Associations will fully play the role of a bridge, guiding more enterprises and institutions involving overseas Chinese to actively participate in the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle and promote exchanges and cooperation between Sichuan and Chongqing in economy, trade, culture, science and technology. It is hoped that all central departments will continue to attach importance to the development of Sichuan, and vigorously support the construction of Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle to propel the high-quality development of the western region.
