Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, good afternoon. It is a great pleasure for me to attend the press conference this afternoon which is being held in the run-up to the 20th CPC National Congress. I would also like to thank the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee for giving us this opportunity to introduce the trajectory and achievements of housing and urban-rural development in the past 10 years. My colleagues and I will answer your questions and respond to your concerns. First, on behalf of MOHURD, I would like to thank you for your long-term attention to and support for housing and urban-rural development.

Since the 18th CPC National Congress, General Secretary Xi Jinping has made a series of important instructions on housing and urban-rural development, and proposed a series of new ideas, new concepts and new strategies, providing fundamental principles and guidance for us to do a good job in housing and urban-rural development. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, the MOHURD has mobilized and guided officials and employees in the entire industry to study and implement the instructions and strive to build beautiful cities and countryside, meet housing needs for all people, and achieve historic progress in housing and urban-rural development.
