| Summary/Abstract |
I have come to Xinjiang this time mainly to do some investigating and research for implementing the scientific concept of development, promoting economic and social development, and enhancing Party construction. What I have seen and heard over the past few days deeply impresses me. The last time I came to Xinjiang was in June 2001. Returning again after more than five years, we are happy to see that gratifying achievements have been made in Xinjiang's economic and social development and that significant changes have occurred in the appearance of towns and countryside. These are fairly outstanding in the following respects. First, the economy has maintained fairly rapid growth. Last year's gross domestic product (GDP) in the region reached RMB260,900,000,000, an increase of 10.9 percent over the previous year, and in the first half of this year GDP in the region reached RMB105,200,000,000, rising 11.2 percent over the same period last year. Second, there have been swifter adjustments in the economic structure, with accelerated open-ing up of competitive resources and stepped-up development of special industries.
