The meeting noted that the 15th Five-Year Plan period is a critical stage for China to consolidate the foundation for basically realizing socialist modernization and for comprehensive development. It is also a crucial five-year period for Weifang to build new development advantages and accelerate the enhancement of the city's capacity and influence. Proper preparation and implementation of the Plan is therefore of great significance. The meeting stressed the need to thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech during his inspection of Shandong, closely align with the latest central and national directives, ensure comprehensive alignment with national and provincial plans, conduct in-depth research and careful planning, and develop a high-quality Plan that implements central and provincial directives, suits Weifang's actual conditions, reflects public expectations, and guides future development.
The meeting emphasized the importance of shouldering the responsibility of being a major economic driver, embedding Weifang's development within the broader national and provincial development framework, accurately identifying the city's strategic position, and effectively balancing national needs, Weifang's capabilities, and future direction. It stressed the need to fully understand the phased requirements of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, emphasizing foresight, strategic thinking, and feasibility. The development of new quality productive forces tailored to local conditions should be given a prominent strategic position. Benefiting the people must remain the fundamental value orientation, and major projects and platforms should be planned thoroughly and effectively. The city should firmly maintain initiative, and plan future development carefully. The city should strengthen a holistic approach and enhance overall coordination. Efforts should be made to build a broad consensus and ensure the high-quality completion of drafting the 15th Five-Year Plan proposals and preparing the planning outline.
During the meeting, municipal leaders, along with officials from counties, districts, municipal development zones, and relevant municipal departments, delivered exchange speeches.
