The Secretariat was urged to enhance its political capabilities, enforce strict self-governance, and diligently accomplish all tasks entrusted by the CPC Central Committee.
Focus on Yellow River Basin Protection
A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. The Yellow River, often referred to as the \"Mother River\" of China, holds immense cultural and economic significance. The meeting called for the full enforcement of the Yellow River Protection Law to safeguard this vital resource.
The leaders outlined a strategic approach to conservation efforts:
- Upper Reaches: Systematically enhance water source conservation capacity to ensure sustainable water supply.
- Middle Reaches: Strengthen soil and water conservation to prevent erosion and maintain ecological balance.
- Lower Reaches: Advance wetland protection and ecological governance to preserve biodiversity and natural habitats.
Moreover, the meeting emphasized the necessity of ensuring the safety of important dams, reservoirs, and infrastructure along the river. By strengthening the synergy between the Yellow River's development and national strategies like the large-scale development of the western region and the rise of the central region, the CPC aims to foster regional prosperity.
Cultural Heritage and Tourism Integration
The protection of cultural heritage along the Yellow River was also highlighted. The meeting called for improved holistic and systematic measures to safeguard historical sites and promote the integration of culture and tourism development. This initiative aims to preserve the rich cultural legacy of the region while boosting economic growth through sustainable tourism.
The directives from this meeting signal the CPC's commitment to ecological sustainability, cultural preservation, and high-quality development as central pillars in China's ongoing modernization efforts.
