LHASA, Aug. 26-- China's top political advisor Wang Yang has called for more efforts in poverty relief and religious work to ensure prosperity, development and lasting stability in Tibet Autonomous Region. Wang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and chairman of the 13th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, made the remarks during an inspection in Tibet from Friday to Sunday. More should be done to advance targeted poverty relief and accelerate the paces of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, Wang urged. Winning the tough battle of eliminating poverty in Tibet is of great significance to people's well-being and ethnic solidarity, he said. Priority should be given to improving the quality of poverty relief, with a reasonable sequence of work and no hastening to meet deadlines, he demanded, noting that the long-term effects of relief work should be valued. The current standard of poverty relief must be strictly implemented, he said. Wang stressed combining poverty relief with ecological protection, saying ecological relocation work in high-altitude mountainous areas should be proceeded steadily and in an orderly manner. The national ecological security shield must be strengthened, he said. Meanwhile, Wang urged improved and innovative temple management and called for advancing anti-separatism efforts. |
