On
October 19, the CPC Sichuan Provincial Committee held a meeting of the Standing
Committee to convey and study the guiding principles from a meeting of the
Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee to review the Construction
Planning Outline of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, and to study the
implementation opinions in Sichuan Province. Peng Qinghua, Secretary of the CPC
Sichuan Provincial Committee, presided over the meeting and delivered a speech.
The
meeting pointed out that on October 16, General Secretary Xi Jinping presided
over a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee to review the Construction
Planning Outline of Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. The Outline charts a
blueprint for Chongqing-Chengdu region to shape a regional economic landscape
with complementary advantages and high-quality development and to create an
important growth pole and new driving force for the high-quality development of
the whole country; it also expands market space, optimizes and stabilizes the
supply chain of the industrial chain for the Chengdu-Chongqing region, and
integrates itself into the new development landscape whereby domestic and
foreign markets can boost each other with the domestic market as the mainstay;
it has provided strategic guidance for Sichuan to envisage development for the
14th Five-Year period and formulate the 14th Five-Year Plan. Departments at all
levels in Sichuan Province must thoroughly study and implement the guiding
principles of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speech, further improve
its political position, focus on the new changes in the domestic and
international environment, and continuously deepen the understanding of the
significance of building the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle. The actions and
thoughts should be unified to carry out the decision and deployment of the CPC
Central Committee, and we will do our best to implement the Outline and
accelerate its transformation into the Sichuan Plan, Sichuan Action, and
Sichuan Initiative.
The
meeting pointed out that the Outline is a “mission book” as well as a “construction
map” for building the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. It is necessary to
study and understand the Outline carefully, accurately grasp the strategic
intentions and deployment requirements of the CPC Central Committee, promote
the reform of major platforms, major projects, major policies, and major
reforms specified in the Outline in accordance with the “List System plus
Responsibility System” approach. We should comprehensively implement the
strategic decisions and plans of the CPC Sichuan Provincial Committee, so as to
make breakthroughs in key points and deliver satisfactory results at a faster
pace. It is necessary to formulate the 14th Five-Year Plan by following major
national strategies and make a plan for the economic and social development
during the 14th Five-year period by focusing on the targets for the “one pole, two
centers and two places”, which is considered as the backbone to lay out the key
tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan.
The
meeting pointed out that it is necessary to strengthen overall coordination,
focus on overall progress, and earnestly grasp the key tasks at present.
Earnestly implementing the guiding principles of the Political Bureau of the
CPC Central Committee and further improving opinions and action plans for
implementing the Outline in Sichuan Province can help accelerate the formation
of a strong policy support system and an effective policy promotion system. We
should make every effort to follow up, strengthen communication and reporting
with relevant state ministries and commissions, and promote the implementation
of the key tasks specified in the Outline as soon as possible so as to yield
effective results. We should stick to holistic thinking and integrated
development concept so as to further strengthen strategic coordination, policy
coordination and work coordination between Sichuan and Chongqing, optimize and
improve cooperation mechanisms, and create a high-level model of regional
cooperation. We should accelerate the implementation of preliminary projects,
insist on the construction of major projects as the breakthrough and main
starting point for implementing the national strategy, implement a number of
symbolic Sichuan-Chongqing cooperation projects on high-speed railways,
expressways, logistics, etc. Seizing every minute, we should help Chengdu to
build a park city demonstration zone and complete representative and leading
projects like Chengdu-Deyang-Meishan-Ziyang urban integration, the western
science city, and the construction of provincial new areas by practicing the
new development concept, in order to achieve tangible results. We should
strengthen publicity, increase social consensus, gather forces from all
parties, and further create a strong atmosphere for promoting the construction
of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle.
Other
issues were also discussed at the meeting.
