'Striving in unity'
"Striving in unity" is the path the Chinese people must take to create great historic achievements, Zhao Leji, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, said as he delivered a speech at the closing meeting of the second session of the 14th NPC.
Noting that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and is a critical year for realizing the goals and tasks of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), Zhao said implementing the tasks set by the NPC session and striving to realize this year's economic and social development goals is of great significance.
He emphasized implementing a people-centered philosophy of development and developing whole-process people's democracy.
"We should respect the wishes the people express, the experience they accumulate, the rights they have, and the role they play," said Zhao.
He called for stimulating the enthusiasm and vitality of entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity of the whole society.
Zhao stressed the need for a realistic and pragmatic approach and overcoming tough challenges to meet the people's aspirations for a better life through solid hard work and unity.
The top legislator also urged endless efforts to build China into a stronger country and rejuvenate the Chinese nation on all fronts by pursuing Chinese modernization.
