Hu Kaihong:
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. Welcome to this press conference held by the State Council Information Office (SCIO). Today, we are delighted to invite Mr. Ning Jizhe, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC); Mr. Cong Liang, secretary general of the NDRC; and Mr. Zhao Chenxin, deputy secretary general of the NDRC. They will introduce China's efforts to accomplish its economic and social development goals for 2020, namely to ensure the six priorities and stability in six areas (employment, finance, foreign trade, foreign investment, domestic investment, and market expectations). They will also answer your questions.
First, let's give the floor to Mr. Ning Jizhe.
Ning Jizhe:
Friends from the media, my colleagues and I are pleased to be taking part in this press conference during the "two sessions." Currently, under the personal command and deployment of General Secretary Xi Jinping, positive results have been achieved in coordinating epidemic controls, and economic and social development. On the morning of May 22, Premier Li Keqiang's report outlined deployments and arrangements for the government's work this year. Also, on May 22, NDRC head He Lifeng took part in the "ministerial interview." The plans and report have been submitted to the "two sessions" for review and discussion. The NDRC will fully implement the decisions and deployments made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adopting effective measures to ensure the accomplishment of the economic and social development goals for 2020. We also thank our friends from the media for their consistent support and understanding of the work of the NDRC. Next, we will answer your questions.
Hu Kaihong:
Thank you, Mr. Ning, for your brief opening remarks to allow us more time for questions. Now the floor is open for questions.
