Vice Premier Li Keqiang on Friday extended festival greetings to Chinese scientists working in the polar regions ahead of China's Lunar New Year, which falls on Jan. 23, 2012.
During a visit to the National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center, Li made phone calls to some scientists stationed in the polar regions as well as researchers onboard the scientific research vessel "Snow Dragon," which is in the middle of a six-month Antarctic expedition.
Li called for efforts to increase the depth and scope of China's scientific research in both polar regions and oceans.
Oceans are China's precious "blue territory." To face, explore and protect China's oceans is an inevitable strategic choice as the country pursues all-round opening up, Li said.
Li said China should efficiently raise its capacity in exploring, protecting, controlling and comprehensively managing its oceanic territory, as required by the country's 12th Five-year Plan (2011-15).
