Reviewing Key Reports and Setting 2025 Agenda
The meeting meticulously reviewed a report from the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, following discussions on the work reports presented by the leading Party members' groups of five pivotal state institutions: the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), the State Council, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the Supreme People's Court (SPC), and the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP).

The Political Bureau highlighted the critical importance of enforcing the Yellow River Protection Law to safeguard this vital ecological region.
Strategies were outlined to systematically enhance water source conservation capacities in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, strengthen soil and water conservation efforts in the middle reaches, and advance wetland protection alongside ecological governance in the lower reaches. These efforts aim to ensure the long-term sustainability and ecological health of the Yellow River Basin.
Strengthening Infrastructure and Cultural Heritage Protection
The meeting called for concerted efforts to ensure the safety and resilience of key dams, reservoirs, and infrastructure within the basin.

In addition, the bureau urged improvements in the holistic and systematic protection of cultural heritage sites and advocated for the integration of culture and tourism development to promote the rich historical legacy of the Yellow River region.
Advancing Chinese Modernization
