Golden autumn in October, the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, the land of Xinjiang, the fragrance of fruits and vegetables, the government and people. In September last year, the Third Central Xinjiang Work Forum was held, and General Secretary Xi Jinping attended the meeting and delivered an important speech, deeply explaining the party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era, and making major arrangements for doing a good job in Xinjiang work at present and in the coming period from a strategic and overall perspective.

Over the past year, party committees and governments at all levels in Xinjiang have thoroughly implemented the spirit of the meeting, sought long-term strategies, carried out actions to consolidate the foundation, and the people of all ethnic groups have made unremitting efforts, and a new era of unity and harmony, prosperity and prosperity, civilization and progress, living and working in peace and contentment, and a good ecology is full of vitality in socialist Xinjiang with Chinese characteristics.

The key to doing a good job in Xinjiang lies in the party. Whether Xinjiang can do a good job or not depends on whether the party's leadership is strong and powerful. In recent years, a series of achievements in Xinjiang have fully demonstrated the party's role as the core of leadership in overseeing the overall situation and coordinating all parties, and profoundly demonstrated the remarkable advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and China's socialist system. Practice has proved that the key to doing a good job in Xinjiang lies in the party, unswervingly adhering to the leadership of the Communist Party of China, unswervingly taking the road of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and unswervingly adhering to and improving the system of regional ethnic autonomy, in order to build a long-term and stable situation for Xinjiang and grow the cause of governance. Doing a good job in Xinjiang work is a major event for the whole party and the whole country, and we must firmly establish the idea of a chess game for the whole country, improve the working mechanism of unified leadership of the party Central Committee, support and guidance of central departments, support and cooperation of various provinces and municipalities, and Xinjiang's main role.

Completely and accurately implement the party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era. Since the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core has deepened its understanding and grasp of the law governing Xinjiang, and formed the Party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era. Since the Second Central Xinjiang Work Forum in 2014, through the arduous efforts of all aspects, Xinjiang's work has achieved major results, the economic development has continued to improve, the people's living standards have improved significantly, decisive achievements have been made in poverty alleviation, the central support and national counterpart assistance to Xinjiang have been continuously increased, and the sense of gain, happiness and security of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang has been continuously enhanced, showing a good situation of social stability and people living and working in peace and contentment, laying a solid foundation for moving towards long-term peace and stability. Practice has proved that the party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era is completely correct and must be adhered to for a long time. The whole party should regard the implementation of the party's strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era as a political task, make efforts to implement it in a complete and accurate manner, and ensure that Xinjiang work always maintains a correct political direction.

Persist in taking social stability and long-term peace and stability as the overall goal of Xinjiang's work. Xinjiang's social stability and long-term peace and stability have a bearing on the overall situation of national reform, development, and stability, on the reunification of the motherland, ethnic unity, national security, and on the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At present and for some time to come, we must persistently regard social stability and long-term peace and stability as the overall goal of Xinjiang's work. General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed at the Third Central Xinjiang Work Forum that it is necessary to firmly grasp the overall goal of Xinjiang work and maintain the sustained stability and long-term stability of the overall social situation in Xinjiang. Through efforts, xinjiang has not had violent terrorist cases for more than 4 consecutive years, criminal cases and public security cases have dropped significantly, extremist infiltration has been effectively curbed, and the social security situation has improved significantly. Practice has fully proved that the decision-making and deployment of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core on Xinjiang work is completely correct, and all work in Xinjiang must be carried out around the overall goal of social stability and long-term peace and stability. By firmly grasping this general goal, we will have the leading power and initiative in governing Xinjiang according to law, uniting and stabilizing Xinjiang, running Xinjiang with culture, enriching the people and rejuvenating Xinjiang, and building Xinjiang for a long time.

Closely follow the people's livelihood to promote the high-quality development of Xinjiang's economy. Development is an important foundation for Xinjiang's long-term peace and stability. At the third central Xinjiang work forum, General Secretary Xi Jinping spoke highly of Xinjiang's unprecedented achievements in economic and social development and improvement of people's livelihood, and the sense of gain, happiness and security of the people of all ethnic groups was continuously enhanced, emphasizing the need to adhere to the people's livelihood and promote high-quality development. Since the Second Central Xinjiang Work Forum, Xinjiang's GDP has increased from 919.59 billion yuan to 1,379.758 billion yuan; in 2020, the per capita disposable income of urban residents in Xinjiang was 34,838 yuan, which was 2.41 times that of 2010; the per capita disposable income of rural residents was 14,056 yuan, which was 2.82 times that of 2010... Enabling the people to live a good life is the starting point and the final destination of all our party's work. Unswervingly implement the new development concept, promote the high-quality development of Xinjiang's economy, and let development be implemented to improve people's livelihood, benefit the local area, and enhance unity, Xinjiang's tomorrow will be even better.

Today's Xinjiang, from the Tarim Basin to the Altai Mountains, from the Pamir Plateau to the Turpan Basin, is always showing vitality and nurturing hope everywhere. Striving for a new era and embarking on a new journey, with the scientific guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the care and support of the people of the whole country, and the common struggle of the sons and daughters of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, we will certainly be able to write a magnificent chapter in the development and progress of Xinjiang in the new era.
