Li also applauded the RCEP (Dalian) International Business District for launching a public service platform. He encouraged the companies he visited in Dalian to develop high-quality products for more application scenarios and continuously improve market competitiveness.

When inspecting companies in the city of Shenyang, Li said the country should improve its ability to nurture talent at home and attract the brightest minds from around the world, actively cultivate a sound innovation ecosystem, promote the deep integration of production, education, and research, and enable more scientific and technological enterprises to thrive.

He also encouraged the companies to aim at the commanding heights of industrial development and concentrate on breaking through several key core technologies.

To deepen reforms and promote opening up, Li underscored progress in building a unified domestic market and the development of state-owned enterprises, private companies, and foreign-funded ones.
