Chinese Vice President Zeng Qinghong has called on Party and government officials of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to seize opportunities and make new breakthroughs in local economic and social development.
Zeng made the remarks when meeting with local officials on Thursday. Zeng is in Inner Mongolia, north China, attending celebrations marking the region's 60th anniversary.
"Inner Mongolia, together with the entire nation, is standing on a new starting point for development, which requires officials to seize opportunities and develop the region with scientific concept," said Zeng, who conveyed festival greetings to local officials and people on behalf of the central government.
Zeng said, great changes have taken place in Inner Mongolia in the past 60 years, but he reminded local officials to continue adopting a modest and cautious working style, further emancipate their mind, unswervingly carry on opening-up and reform, and strive for the building of an affluent society in an all-round way.
He warned local officials not to be complacent over the region's past achievements but heighten their sense of hardships during the course of future development, and the sense of serving the people wholeheartedly.
With an area of 1.18 million square kilometers, Inner Mongolia is the first of five province-level autonomous regions established in China.
