After listening to everyone's speeches, Xi Jinping delivered an important speech. He emphasized that under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, with the strong support of relevant central departments and Beijing, Tianjin, and other places, Hebei Province actively fulfilled its main responsibilities, the Xiongan New Area Party Working Committee and the Administrative Committee conscientiously fulfilled their local responsibilities, and solidly promoted various tasks. Major phased achievements have been made in the construction of the Xiongan New Area. The top-level design of the new area's construction and development has been basically completed; major progress has been made in infrastructure construction; the relocation of non-capital functions from Beijing has initially yielded results; the ecological environment governance of Baiyangdian has achieved significant results; positive progress has been made in deepening reform and opening up; the conditions for the aggregation of industrial and innovative elements have gradually improved; and relocation and resettlement work is proceeding in an orderly manner. In just six years, the Xiongan New Area has gone from nothing to something, from blueprint to reality. A high-level modern city is rising from the ground, a true miracle. These achievements were made under the severe circumstances of the world's once-in-a-century changes and three years of the COVID-19 epidemic, making them all the more remarkable. Practice has proved that the major decision of the Party Central Committee on the construction of the Xiongan New Area is entirely correct, and the work in all aspects is solid and effective.
Xi Jinping stressed the need to fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the Party Central Committee's strategic deployment on the construction of the Xiongan New Area, to deeply understand the major practical significance and far-reaching historical significance of the Party Central Committee's decision, to firmly grasp the functional positioning, mission, and principles required by the Party Central Committee for the Xiongan New Area, to raise the political standing, to maintain historical patience, and to properly handle the relationship between short-term and long-term goals, the speed of urban construction and the scale of population aggregation, industrial transfer and industrial upgrading, government and market, undertaking the relocation of non-capital functions from Beijing and the city's own development, urban construction and surrounding rural revitalization, to ensure the correct direction of the construction and development of the Xiongan New Area.
Xi Jinping pointed out the need to solidly promote the implementation of various tasks to relocate non-capital functions from Beijing, to continue planning the second batch of relocation of headquarters of central enterprises in Beijing and their secondary and tertiary subsidiaries or innovative business units, and to begin planning the relocation of financial institutions, research institutes, and public institutions. It is necessary to continue improving the policy system for encouraging and constraining relocation. Policies related to the children's education, medical care, housing, salaries, social security, medical insurance, and provident fund of the relocated personnel should be further refined and implemented according to the principle of 'old people, old methods; new people, new methods,' ensuring that relocated units and personnel enjoy tangible benefits. It is necessary to adhere to the combination of market mechanisms and government guidance, focusing on both projects and policies, and using market-oriented and legalized means to enhance the endogenous driving force for the relocation of non-capital functions.
Xi Jinping stressed the need to fully implement the innovation-driven development strategy, to promote the implementation of cutting-edge policy measures and forward-looking innovative pilot projects in various fields in Xiongan, to strive to build new functions, create a new image, develop new industries, attract new talent, and build new mechanisms, making the Xiongan New Area a new era innovation highland and entrepreneurial hotbed. It is necessary to create a first-class market-oriented, rule-of-law, and international business environment, to study and introduce a package of special support policies, to widely attract and gather domestic and foreign forces and capital to participate in the construction and development of the Xiongan New Area, and to create a vibrant situation of people's aspirations, element convergence, concerted efforts, and common development. It is necessary to widely use advanced science and technology, to focus on strengthening the capacity for scientific and technological innovation, to increase the intensity of technological results transformation, to actively develop new formats and models, to cultivate new growth points and form new driving forces, and to make intelligence, greenness, and innovation the hallmarks of the Xiongan New Area. It is necessary to implement the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, to adhere to green and low-carbon development, and to build the Xiongan New Area into a model of green development.
Xi Jinping pointed out the need to optimize and improve the leadership system and management mechanism of the Xiongan New Area, and to steadily and orderly promote the transition of the new area to an urban management system in stages and steps. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of leading teams and cadres at all levels in the new area and to improve the overall quality and professional level of the cadre and talent team. It is necessary to improve the mechanism for evaluating and assessing cadres in the new area to encourage the vast number of Party members and cadres to be courageous, innovative, and capable.
Xi Jinping stressed the need to adhere to the principle that people build the city for the people, to solve the pressing issues of concern to the cadres and people in the Xiongan New Area, and to allow the people to feel a real sense of gain and happiness from the construction and development of the new area. It is necessary to prioritize employment, to improve employment and entrepreneurship guidance policies, and to strengthen re-employment training for the new area's workforce. It is necessary to promote coordinated urban-rural development and to blaze a new path in narrowing the urban-rural gap, promoting integrated urban-rural development, and promoting common prosperity for all people.
Xi Jinping pointed out that the Xiongan New Area Party Working Committee and Party organizations at all levels should earnestly carry out thematic education, and take this as an opportunity to strengthen investigation and research, promote a great liberation of thought, a great improvement in ability, a great transformation in style, and a great implementation of work, further enhancing political functions and organizational functions. It is necessary to continuously rectify the "four winds," to comprehensively promote the inability, unwillingness, and daring not to be corrupt, and to ensure "Xiongan quality" with "clean Xiongan."
Li Qiang said in his speech that the most fundamental and crucial aspect of promoting the high-standard and high-quality construction of the Xiongan New Area is to thoroughly understand and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions and the Party Central Committee's decisions and deployments. It is necessary to have the determination of a "millennial project," to firmly grasp the functional positioning and mission of the Xiongan New Area, and to proceed steadily and persistently. It is necessary to have the drive to "seize the day," to firmly grasp the already clarified and necessary tasks, to act without delay, to work quickly, to accelerate the undertaking of the relocation of non-capital functions from Beijing, to solidly advance infrastructure construction, to focus on building a modern industrial system, to fully leverage the initiative of all parties, and to promote continuous progress in all aspects of work.
Ding Xuexiang stated that it is necessary to thoroughly study and implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, to take scientific and technological innovation as the foundation for the high-quality construction and development of the Xiongan New Area, to focus on building an important source of independent innovation and original innovation, to build a first-class innovation platform, and to carry out high-level scientific and technological innovation; to focus on promoting the deep integration of innovation chains and industrial chains, to deploy innovation chains around industrial chains, to increase the intensity of technological results transformation, and to promote the development of high-tech industries; and to focus on building a collaborative innovation community in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, to innovate benefit-sharing models, and to attract and gather more innovative elements and resources to participate in promoting the high-quality development of the Xiongan New Area.
