Xi pointed out that to further advance the high-quality construction and development of the new area, it is crucial to adhere to its role of taking on the functions transferred from Beijing because they were not essential to its role as the nation's capital.

He urged efforts to actively and steadily advance the construction of relocation projects for centrally administered State-owned enterprises, universities and hospitals, to promote in an orderly manner the relocation of financial institutions, research institutes and public institutions, and to support the relocated organizations for better development.

Policy support and services for relocation projects and personnel should be strengthened to guide the projects in driving the development of the new area and its surrounding regions, he added.

Xi emphasized the need to improve public services, with a focus on ensuring and improving people's well-being, and he called for actively exploring future-oriented smart city management models and building Xiong'an into a beautiful city with a blue sky, green land and clear water.

He said that the Xiong'an New Area should use reform and innovation as a driving force to promote the deep integration of technological and industrial innovation, develop new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions, and cultivate a modern industrial system that aligns with the actual situation of the new area.

The high-level construction of the Zhongguancun Science Park in Xiong'an should be promoted to facilitate the transformation of more scientific and technological research achievements into industrial applications, he said.

Xi highlighted the need to promote the development of industrial clusters for emerging and future industries, actively develop the producer service industry, and support the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.

He also urged the bold exploration and piloting of innovation policies in fields such as science and technology and finance, and called for striving to create a market-oriented, world-class business environment that is governed by a sound legal framework.

Li Qiang, Cai Qi and Ding Xuexiang, who are all members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, accompanied Xi for the inspection and attended the symposium.
