Xi stresses cultural heritage importance
It is of strategic significance to build an ecological buffer zone for North China and Beijing, Xi said, adding that the work should be carried on from generation to generation.
On Tuesday, Xi was briefed by the regional Party committee and the regional government on their work and the ongoing education campaign with the theme "Staying True to our Founding Mission".
He said that Inner Mongolia, with rich natural and ecological resources and diverse ethnic cultures, has huge development potential and a significant strategic position.
Faced with rising instability and uncertainty in the international situation, the president called for arduous efforts to fight the "three critical battles" against major risks, poverty and pollution and help maintain sustainable economic development.
