Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Doing a Good Job in Comprehensively Promoting Rural Revitalization in 2023:

(2023 2 January 2002)

The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China drew a grand blueprint for comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation through a Chinese path to modernization. In building a modern socialist country in an all-round way, the most arduous and burdensome task still lies in the countryside.The once-in-a-century changes unseen in the world are accelerating. China's development has entered a period in which strategic opportunities and risks and challenges coexist, and there are more uncertain and unpredictable factors. It is of vital importance and brooks no failure to hold fast to the fundamentals related to “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers”. The CPC Central Committee believes that we must persevere in addressing issues related to “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” as the top priority of the entire Party's work, We should mobilize the efforts of the whole Party and society to comprehensively promote rural revitalization and accelerate the modernization of agriculture and rural areas. A strong country must first strengthen agriculture, and only when agriculture is strong can the country be strong. We should base ourselves on the national conditions and agricultural conditions, embody Chinese characteristics, and build an agricultural country  with strong supply guarantees, advanced technology and equipment, robust management system, resilient industries, and strong competitiveness.

To do a good job in the work related to "agriculture, rural areas and farmers"  in 2023 and for a period of time in the future, we should adhere to the guiding principles of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implement the guiding principles of the 20th National Congress of the CPC, thoroughly implement General Secretary Xi Jinping's important exposition on the work related to "agriculture, rural areas and farmers" , uphold and strengthen the Party's overall leadership over the work related to "agriculture,rural areas and farmers", adhere to the priority development of agriculture and rural areas, adhere to the integrated development of urban and rural areas, strengthen scientific and technological innovation and institutional innovation, and resolutely uphold the bottom lines of ensuring food security and preventing large-scale relapse into poverty.   Solidly promote the key work of rural development, rural construction, rural governance, accelerate the construction of a strong agricultural country, build a beautiful and harmonious countryside that is desirable to live and work in, and lay a solid foundation for getting off to a good start in building a modern socialist country in all respects.
