Special Report: Rural Development
Members of China's top advisory body on Friday were urged to be fully aware of the importance of building new countryside and improving innovation ability.
Fulfillment of the two tasks will help enhance comprehensive national power and ensure China an invulnerable position in global competition, said Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
They are also important to sustain rapid economic and social development and to build an all-round well-off society, said Jia at a just concluded meeting convened by the Standing Committee of CPPCC National Committee.
"We should rely on the concept of scientific development to balance rural and urban development and to improve the ability of innovating industrial technologies," said Jia, also member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
Jia also attended a workshop on Friday to encourage advisory bodies of various levels to make better suggestions for the country's diplomatic work.
