Political parties, as the fountainhead of national policies and proponent of people's interests, should guide actions with a higher pursuit of development, and lead the people continuously forward on the path to modernization. The CPC is willing to strengthen experience exchanges with political parties of various countries on urban development and modernization, and continuously advance the modernization process of each country and the world.  

Ni Yuefeng, Secretary of the CPC Hebei Provincial Committee, stated that the establishment of Xiongan New Area is a major strategic decision and deployment made by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core to deeply advance the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. It is a national project of millennial significance. Hebei conscientiously has implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions, adhering to a global vision, international standards, distinctive Chinese features, and future-oriented goals. By upholding the concept of planning first, Hebei strives to create “Xiongan Quality”. Hebei has solidly advanced the tasks of relieving Beijing of functions non-essential to its role as the national capital, focused on strengthening the capability for scientific and technological innovation, and continuously deepened the ecological conservation of Baiyangdian. Therefore new progress has been made in the construction of Xiongan. All guests are welcome to pay more attention to Xiongan, enhance exchanges and cooperation, share development opportunities, and jointly witness and participate in the growth of this future city.  

Zhang Guohua, Chairman of the Hebei Provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Secretary of the Working Committee of Xiongan New Area, stated that over the past seven years, Xiongan New Area has implemented a total of 383 key projects with a completed investment of over 710 billion yuan, achieving a transformation from scratch, from blueprint to reality. Currently, it is earnestly following General Secretary Xi Jinping’s instructions, adhering to high-quality construction and high-level management. The development of Xiongan New Area has entered a phase when the same importance must be attached to both its large-scale construction and its purpose to relieve Beijing of functions non-essential to its role as the national capital. Efforts are being made to rapidly gather various resources and elements, striving to blaze a trail of reform and innovation under open conditions. We hope that international friends will actively promote Hebei and Xiongan New Area, and attract domestic and international resources and capital to participate in the building of Xiongan New Area, in a bid to create a dynamic landscape of public popularity, convergence of factors, joint contribution and common development.
