President Wang Jianmin of the Shangyu District Association of Ethnic Minorities concluded that since 2018, the second Council of the Association of Ethnic Minorities has led all members to constantly explore and innovate, actively forge ahead, and carried out various and colorful activities of ethnic unity and progress. It has played a unique role in coordinating relations and serving ethnic minorities, and has made certain achievements. After the change of name, the Association will closely focus on forging the consciousness of the Chinese national community, play the role of bridge and link, pool all forces, coordinate advantageous resources, strive to stimulate the sense of ownership of the people of all ethnic groups to maintain national unity, and work together to build a better home.
Fu Chunrong congratulated the third general meeting of the Shangyu District Association of Ethnic Minorities on its success. At the same time, he also fully affirmed that the association has effectively played the role of a bridge and link between the party and the government and the ethnic minorities, and has built a platform for the majority of ethnic minorities in the region to connect, enhance solidarity, exchange information and promote each other, so that the majority of ethnic minorities in the region have a “home” of their own.
Fu Chunrong stressed that, first, we should focus on the main line of planning work of forging the consciousness of the Chinese national community. We should take forging a strong sense of the Chinese national community as the main line of the Party’s national work. The Promotion Association should take the lead in guiding the people of all ethnic groups to firmly establish the community concept of sharing weal and woe, share weal and woe, share life and death, and share a common destiny. At the same time, we hope that in the process of exchanges, we can respect each other, appreciate each other, learn from each other, and improve together. Second, we should focus on the construction of the “Zheli Pomegranate Red” 500 Project. The Promotion Association should rely on member representatives, give full play to the advantages of talent concentration and bridge ties, excavate and cultivate a group of talents with feelings and responsibilities, build the four beams and eight pillars of the “Zheli Pomegranate Red” 500 Project, draw a concentric circle, and form a cluster effect of “Zheli Pomegranate Red” with a high degree of discrimination. Third, we should anchor the goal of “being brave and resolute, being practical first” and devote ourselves to the work of national unity. The second party congress of Shangyu District has outlined the guiding ideology and main objectives of Shangyu’s development, which are coupled with the areas of minority floating population service management, common prosperity and development of all ethnic groups and urban ethnic work. The Association for the Promotion of National Unity and its member representatives should strive to be the vanguard of local development, and transform the beautiful blueprint into a vivid practice of Shangyu development.
The conference also specially invited the teachers of the Party School of Shaoxing Municipal Party Committee to convey and study the spirit of the 15th Provincial Party Congress for the members’ representatives.
