Recognizing Achievements and Planning for 2025

The groups were urged to prioritize action, unify efforts to advance reforms, and contribute to high-quality development and the modernization of China.
The Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee was called upon to enhance its political capabilities, strengthen self-governance, and effectively execute all tasks assigned by the CPC Central Committee.
Emphasizing Yellow River Basin Development
The meeting highlighted the critical importance of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin. It called for the comprehensive enforcement of the Yellow River Protection Law and outlined strategies for different regions of the river.
Efforts should focus on enhancing water source conservation in the upper reaches, strengthening soil and water conservation in the middle reaches, and advancing wetland protection and ecological governance in the lower reaches. The safety of key dams, reservoirs, and infrastructure must be ensured.
The meeting also emphasized aligning the development of the Yellow River Basin with broader national strategies, such as the large-scale development of the western region and the rise of the central region. There is a call to improve the systematic protection of cultural heritage and promote the integration of culture and tourism development.
