"Another highlight of the meeting is that the CPC Central Committee makes clear that Xinjiang's stability concerns the country's stability and Xinjiang's issue is more than a single region's issue. That's why the CPC Central Committee is to mobilize the strength of the entire Party and the entire nation to help Xinjiang achieve a leapfrog development," he said.

"The meeting gives us inspiring news," said Rayim Ismail, a resident of Uygur ethnic group in Urumqi, the regional capital of Xinjiang, Thursday.

He is moving from a shantytown to a new area in the city with better living conditions under a government-funded housing project.

"I am delighted to see more and more good policies issued for us," he said.
