Chinese President Hu Jintao
said Sunday that the country must earnestly implement the
scientific concept of development if it wants to attain various
development goals set for the
11th Five-Year Guidelines period (2006-2010).
"The scientific concept of development is a guiding principle
that must be adhered to for a long period in order to promote our
country's reform, opening-up and socialist modernization drive,"
said Hu, also general secretary of the ruling Communist Party of
China Central Committee, while joining in a group discussion of
lawmakers from Southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.
The lawmakers are here for the Fourth Session of the Tenth
National People's Congress (NPC), the national legislature, which
opened here Sunday morning.
"We shall make all-out efforts to do every thing that conforms
to the scientific concept of development, and never hesitate to
abandon anything that goes against the concept," stressed Hu.
While exchanging ideas with the Tibetan lawmakers, Hu, who once
served as Party chief in Tibet, pointed out that development is the
key to the solution of all problems the autonomous region is faced
with.
"The state will continue to implement the strategy of developing
the western regions and will increase its support for Tibet in the
coming five years. I hope all officials and people in Tibet can
seize this rare opportunity and strive hard for the long-term
prosperity and stability in the region," Hu added.
The president also voiced his "complete advocacy" of the central
government work report delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at the
just-opened NPC session.
