He said: This conference is an important political event for the armed

police officers and men of the production and construction corps. It

shows that the headquarters of the corps' armed police units has

entered a new stage in party building, and it will play a very

important role in building a stronger headquarters.

Wang Lequan pointed out: In recent years, units of the corps' armed

police units have been playing an important role in safeguarding

Xinjiang's political stability and unity, protecting Xinjiang's

socialist modernization, fighting crimes, building socialist spiritual

civilization, carrying out rescue and relief missions, and supporting

local economic construction. They are units the party and the people

can trust. Wang Lequan urged all officers and men to clearly

understand Xinjiang's ongoing struggle against its enemy; fully

understand the protracted nature, acuteness, and complexity of the

antiseparatist struggle; and, at the same time, work hard to safeguard

army-government and army-people unity and unity among people of all

ethnic groups, and take practical actions to consolidate and develop

the region's social and political unity and stability.

Wang Lequan said: All units should give top priority to their

ideological and political construction, and, at the same time, tighten

the construction of mobile forces by turning them into disciplined,

technically superb, and tough forces that can win battles. Under the

leadership of the armed police headquarters and party committees of the

region and the production and construction corps, all officers and men

of the corps' armed police headquarters should build themselves up,

unite as one, brace themselves up, forge ahead, and usher in Hong

Kong's reversion and the triumphant convocation of the 15th National

Party Congress with outstanding achievements.

ceremony were some 140 grass-roots party representatives from the
