Xi urged efforts to systematically lay out and develop a modern infrastructure system in Northeast China, speed up the study and building of oil and gas pipelines, railway and high-speed railway networks, new-type power grids and power transmission channels, as well as new-generation mobile communications and data networks.

Xi stressed improving the overall quality of the population and supporting the full revitalization of Northeast China with high-quality development of the population.

Vigorous efforts should go into developing public-interest childcare services and easing burden on families in childbearing, parenting and education while keeping the birth rate and population scale at a proper level, Xi said.

Policy support for fostering talent should be enhanced, and more entrepreneurship and innovation platforms should be established to help the Northeastern region retain and bring in talent, Xi said.

Xi underlined more work to improve the political atmosphere, create a sound business environment, and spur enthusiasm for hard work and entrepreneurship.

Xi urged Party members and cadres to support the development of private companies, and proactively address their concerns and help them solve problems while ensuring no corruption emerges.

He underlined efforts to promote integrity and credibility, enhance the protection of intellectual property rights, and create a stable, transparent, regulated, and predictable legal environment for all business entities.

Work should be accelerated to defuse local government debt risks as well as address risks concerning medium-sized and small financial institutions to restore a healthy financial environment, Xi said.

He stressed that strengthening Party leadership and Party building is the fundamental guarantee for the full revitalization of Northeast China.

Noting that parts of Northeast China have been ravaged by severe flooding since the flood season started, Xi urged efforts to arrange post-disaster restoration and reconstruction, resume the order of production and life in the disaster-hit areas as soon as possible, and stay on high alert against the autumn flood season.

Ding Xuexiang called for studying and implementing the guiding principles of Xi's speech, making new breakthroughs in the full revitalization of Northeast China to serve the country's overall development better.

Ding also stressed upholding the people-centered development philosophy and continuously enhancing people's sense of fulfillment, happiness, and security.
