In this sense, a new type of industrial path should be followed, the national macro-control policy should be implemented, economic restructuring should be stepped up, and resource and energy conservation should be given high attention.
During his visit to Yueshanlong village, Jia urged greater efforts in developing rural productivity, education, culture and health service.
