He urged them to rally broader support, build consensus, and pool wisdom and strength to achieve shared goals.
He stressed the importance of making concerted efforts in 2025 to successfully accomplish the targets set forth in the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) and to lay a solid foundation for the next five years.
Xi’s address underscores the significance of unity and collaboration across all sectors of society in achieving China’s developmental milestones. As the nation prepares to celebrate the Lunar New Year, his message resonates with themes of shared responsibility and collective progress.
