In a press conference held by the State Council Information Office, regional leaders outlined plans to leverage Ningxia’s role as a pilot zone for ecological conservation and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin.
Zhang Yupu, deputy secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Ningxia Hui Autonomous Regional Committee and Ningxia governor, delivered a keynote speech detailing the initiative’s objectives. He emphasized the region’s commitment to sustainable development, aiming to balance economic growth with environmental protection.
“Ningxia stands at a crucial intersection of opportunity and responsibility,” Zhang stated. “Our modernization efforts will prioritize ecological conservation while fostering high-quality economic development along the Yellow River Basin.”
The campaign focuses on harnessing the unique geographical and cultural advantages of Ningxia. Key aspects include improving infrastructure, promoting clean energy, enhancing agricultural practices, and preserving the rich heritage of the Hui people and other ethnic minorities in the region.
During the press conference, Zhang answered questions from media representatives, highlighting the government’s strategies to involve local communities in the modernization process. Initiatives will support innovation, educational advancement, and partnerships with domestic and international investors.
The Yellow River Basin, often referred to as the “Mother River” of China, is a vital water source for agriculture and industry. Ningxia’s efforts are part of a larger national strategy to ensure the sustainable development of this critical region.
The modernization campaign is expected to bring significant improvements to the quality of life for Ningxia’s residents, promoting economic opportunities while safeguarding the environment for future generations.
