China Traffic Radio:
How will The Outline for Building China's Strength in Transport support and serve the implementation of China’s national strategies? Thank you.
Li Xiaopeng:
Now Mr. Dai Dongchang will answer your question.
Dai Dongchang:
The transport infrastructure industry plays a basic, strategic, pioneering and service role in the country’s economic and social development. It has an impact on the national economy and people's livelihood, enhances China's economic dynamism and competitiveness internationally, and impacts everyone’s daily life. We know this too well from our own experience.
First, the outline serves the implementation of a coordinated regional development strategy. The coordinated development between regions cannot be achieved without a well-connected transport infrastructure system. For years, we have consistently supported and served the regional development of eastern, central, western and northeastern China, facilitating east China's trailblazing development, central China's rise, west China's development and northeast China's revitalization. We enabled the transport industry to play an important role in the implementation of several well-known national strategies and regional development strategies. This includes the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the Coordinated Development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, the building of Xiong'an New Area, the strategy of ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River, the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as the balanced development of transport in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Hainan province and Yangtze River Delta.
Second, the outline serves the three critical challenges. We will comprehensively improve the transport service capacity to help forestall and defuse major risks, intensify precision efforts on poverty alleviation and address pollution.
Third, the outline serves the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy. Equitable public services in transport have also been promoted.
Fourth, the outline serves the implementation of expanding the opening up strategy. During the process of building an inter-connected and global transportation network, the transport industry has become one of the several industries which has yielded early harvests.
Hu Kaihong:
Today's briefing concludes here. Thanks to Mr. Li and the other four speakers, and thank you all.
