On behalf of the CPC Yangpu District Committee, Xue Kan, Secretary of the CPC Yangpu District Committee, extended warm congratulations on the successful conclusion of the conference and to the newly elected members. He expressed his heartfelt thanks to all the delegates, attendees and the staff who have worked diligently for the conference. He noted that, over the past year, the district people's congress and its standing committee, along with the deputies to the congress, has thoroughly implemented the people's city concept, pursued full-process people's democracy, conscientiously fulfilled their statutory duties, innovated in grassroots democratic practices, served the overall interests with responsibility and effectiveness, conducted targeted and vigorous supervision, and effectively played their roles as deputies. These efforts have significantly contributed to the advancement of Yangpu's democratic legal construction and economic and social development. 2025 is the concluding year of the "14th Five-Year Plan", the planning year for the "15th Five-Year Plan", and the beginning year for studying the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important reply letter and advancing the new round of people's city building. Guided by Xi Jinping's thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, Yangpu should put into full effect the guiding principles of the 20th National People's Congress and the Second and Third Plenary Sessions of the 20th CPC Central Committee, earnestly implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speeches during his visit to Shanghai and his important reply letter, and under the strong leadership of the municipal committee and the municipal government, focus on the "three major initiatives", unite with one heart, and persist in its efforts to create a vivid picture of the best practice place for a people's city.

Xue stressed the importance of always prioritizing the welfare of the people as the paramount political achievement. It is essential to align with the people's aspirations for a better life by expediting urban renewal to a higher standard. The concept of "complete communities" should be employed to revitalize old residential areas, continuously enhancing functional facilities and thereby improving the quality of life for residents. There is a need to consistently elevate the provision of public services, fully addressing key livelihood issues such as education, healthcare, elderly care, and childcare, thereby infusing warmth into people's lives. Resolute efforts should be made to establish a robust safety baseline, accelerating the development of a digital and intelligent urban governance platform and refining the safety risk prevention system to ensure a more tranquil existence for the people. Additionally, it is crucial to maintain and enhance mechanisms and practices like the collection of public suggestions and the "public discussion hall", accelerating the formation of an urban governance community characterized by universal participation, responsibility, contribution, and shared benefits, thus enhancing the people's sense of belonging and identity.

Xue stressed that in the coming year, the whole district should remain steadfast in their confidence and strive for new achievements through a "leap forward". If there is capacity to do more, it should be utilized; if there is an opportunity to expedite progress, it should be seized, ensuring the high-quality fulfillment of the annual development targets and the objectives of the "14th Five-Year Plan". Efforts should be concentrated on stabilizing growth, with the comprehensive expansion of domestic demand serving as the primary impetus. This involves the synchronized advancement of supply and demand, the mutual enhancement of consumption and investment, the deep integration of investment attraction and service, the cultivation and expansion of industrial echelons, and the promotion of sustained economic recovery and improvement. Innovation should be pursued unwaveringly, with the integrated reform of educational, technological, and talent systems and mechanisms serving as the guiding force. The goal is to achieve deep integration between technological innovation and industrial innovation, underpinned by the construction of an open and integrated innovation ecosystem. The active advancement of the "Digital Yangpu New Quality Innovation Zone" is crucial, ensuring that the full engagement of all stakeholders, the comprehensive coordination of all elements, and the accelerated innovation chain become a defining feature of Yangpu. This will boost the emergence and robust growth of new quality productive forces in Yangpu.

Xue emphasized that in the new era and on the new journey, to actualize the earnest entrustment of "two commons and two beauties" and to achieve the goal of "a leap forward", the key lies in the concerted efforts and pragmatic actions of the entire district. It is imperative to prioritize action, fully reinvigorate the strength of Yangpu, and more vividly manifest the new ethos of "working with substance and striving for precedence". There should be the constant enhancement of the sense of responsibility that "one can never be at ease at any moment", the effective elevation of the executive force that "ensures every matter is carried out", and the vigorous cultivation of an atmosphere where "everyone is motivated to act", thereby ensuring the deepening, detailing, and substantiation of all tasks, securing their implementation and fruitful outcomes. A relentless spirit of advancement should be perpetually maintained, with raised standards and scales, daring to contend with the best and race with the swiftest, striving to become exemplary through learning from and emulating the advanced, thereby effectively propelling all endeavors to progress vertically, advance horizontally, and ascend as a whole.

Xue noted that the work of the people's congress is an important part of the Party's work, and the power of the people's congress is a significant force in driving high-quality development. The entire society should hold the people's congress system in high regard, maintain a firm belief in socialism with Chinese characteristics, and continuously strengthen and develop a vibrant, stable, and united political landscape. The district government, committee, people's court, and people's procuratorate should uphold the authority of the people's congress, willingly accept its oversight, and continuously enhance the standards of law-based administration, law-based supervision, and impartial justice. People's congresses at all levels should steadfastly adhere to the positioning and requirements of the "four organs", ensuring that the commitment to the Party's leadership is consistently applied throughout every aspect and the entire course of their work.
