General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over a symposium on economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period in Shanghai on the 30th and delivered an important speech. The General Secretary’s important speech coordinates the domestic and international situations, is based on the overall economic and social development, analyzes changes in the situation, points out strategic priorities, and provides ideological and action guidelines for scientifically planning economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

Using medium- and long-term planning to guide economic and social development is an important way for our party to govern the country. Since 1953, my country has formulated and implemented 14 five-year plans (plans), including 9 of which have been formulated and implemented since the reform and opening up, which has effectively promoted economic and social development, improved comprehensive national strength, and improved people's lives, creating a miracle of rapid economic development and long-term social stability that is rare in the world. Practice has proved that scientific formulation and continuous implementation of the five-year plan is an important experience in our party's governance and an important political advantage of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Everything is planned. To plan economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we must grasp a series of principles and methodologies of scientific planning. We must base ourselves on the historical position, accurately grasp the phased requirements of the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, focus on the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, focus on basically realizing the goal of socialist modernization, reasonably determine goals and tasks in one field and one field, and put forward ideas and measures. Follow the way and succeed. We must conduct in-depth analysis and demonstration of all aspects of goals and tasks to ensure that they are scientific and accurate and can be achieved as scheduled. We must use systematic thinking, make overall plans, grasp key and decisive factors, grasp the rhythm and progress, focus on consolidating and expanding advantages, breaking through bottlenecks and bottlenecks, strengthening shortcomings and weaknesses, and improving quality and efficiency, and maintain orientation consistency with the overall goals.

To plan economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we must grasp the opportunities and challenges brought about by profound changes in the domestic and international environment. "If the world is different, things are different, and if things are different, things are ready to change." Only by looking forward to grasp the impact of the development and changes of the international situation on our country and taking advantage of the situation to adjust and optimize the economic layout, can we firmly grasp the initiative in development. We must unswervingly do our own business well, unswervingly expand high-level opening up, take multiple measures to stabilize employment, enterprises, markets, and expectations, effectively stabilize the basic economic situation, accelerate the construction of a new development pattern, and comprehensively promote high-quality development. Development and security are the two wings of one unity and the two wheels of drive. We must pay more attention to coordinating development and security, take into account internal and external risks and challenges in a comprehensive manner, improve the national security system, enhance the ability to maintain security, promote high-quality development and high-level virtuous interaction with high-efficiency governance, and ensure the new development pattern with a new security pattern, and achieve a dynamic balance and complementary relationship between development and security.

To plan economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we must grasp the strategic task of developing new quality productivity according to local conditions. Technological innovation and industrial innovation are the basic paths to develop new quality productivity. We must take scientific and technological innovation as the guide and the real economy as the foundation to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system. We must grasp the "bull's nose" of innovation, improve the national innovation system, continue to work hard to strengthen basic research and improve original innovation capabilities, and speed up the research and development of key core technologies and cutting-edge technologies. The competition in today's world is ultimately about talent competition and education competition. We must coordinate the promotion of the integrated development of education, science and technology talents, and lay a solid foundation and strategic support for the development of new quality productivity.

To plan economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, we must grasp the fundamental value orientation that benefits the people. Chinese-style modernization is a socialist modernization that is common prosperity for all people. We must adhere to the people-centered development philosophy, safeguard and improve people's livelihood in development, and steadily promote common prosperity. We must conduct in-depth research on effective measures in urban-rural integration development and accelerating agricultural and rural modernization, and steadily increase the income of urban and rural people. The key to matters involving the people is to be realistic. We must study and introduce a number of people's livelihood policies and measures with strong balance and accessibility, focus on solving the urgent, difficult and anxious problems of the people, and continuously enhance the people's sense of gain, happiness and security.

Those who do not plan the overall situation are not enough to plan a domain. When planning economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, all regions must grasp the requirements of "adhering to a game of chess and playing a good characteristic card". Only by accurately positioning in the overall national situation can we find the right direction of our own development. We must conduct in-depth investigations and research, start from reality, act according to laws, adhere to the unity of goal-oriented and problem-oriented approach, and focus on reflecting our own characteristics, giving full play to our comparative advantages when determining development ideas and strategic measures, and embark on a high-quality development path that is suitable for the actual situation of the region.

Struggle to create history, and work hard to achieve the future. This year is the year when the 14th Five-Year Plan is concluded and the year when the 15th Five-Year Plan is planned. Let us unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, fully implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, speed up the implementation of the goals and tasks of the "14th Five-Year Plan", scientifically plan economic and social development during the "15th Five-Year Plan", work one after another, draw a blueprint to the end, promote high-quality development to a new level, and constantly write a new chapter of Chinese-style modernization.
