President Xi Jinping called on Monday for strategic resolve and historical patience to make efforts to build the Xiong’an New Area, dubbed China’s “city of the future”, into an innovation hub in the new era and a model of promoting high-quality development.

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks while inspecting the Xiong’an New Area in Hebei province, about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing.

As a “millennium plan” and a project with national significance, the Xiong’an New Area has been designed to relieve Beijing of functions that are nonessential to its role as the nation’s capital, and to boost the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Since China announced plans to establish the Xiong’an New Area in April 2017, it has evolved from a blueprint into a vibrant city.

Xi has attached great importance to the construction and development of the Xiong’an New Area. Monday’s trip marked his fourth inspection tour of Xiong’an since 2017.

On Monday morning, Xi viewed construction progress in the start-up zone and visited China Huaneng Group and the Xiong’an campus of Beijing No 4 High School to learn about the new area’s development.

He also greeted representatives of officials and staff from organizations whose functions were transferred from Beijing, and which have moved in or whose facilities are under construction. 

On Monday afternoon, Xi chaired a symposium on further advancing the high-quality construction and development of the new area. He noted that major achievements have been made in the current stage of construction and development of Xiong’an.

Practice has fully proved that the decision of the CPC Central Committee to build the Xiong’an New Area is totally correct, and all aspects of related work are solid and effective, he said.
