The region should stick to a development road with Chinese characteristics and suited to Tibet's regional conditions, and make resolute efforts to achieve "leapfrog development and lasting stability," Hu said.

Economic and social development should be coordinated with the improvement of people's livelihoods, Hu said.

He also urged the region to promote the building of an energy-saving and environment-friendly society, by balancing utilization of natural resources and environmental protection.

Hu called for vigorous efforts to strengthen the autonomous region's capability of self-development while trying to seek a balance between assistance from across the country and its own endeavors.

He asked officials and people of all ethnic groups in Tibet to contribute their wisdom and strength to the region's development and stability.

The Communist Party and the government would continue with solid efforts to try their best to do what is good to ethnic minorities in Tibet and further improve farmers and herders' working conditions and living standards, Hu said.
