He noted that President Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the development of ecological civilization in Guizhou, providing consistent strategic guidance and timely, targeted direction.

Guizhou, bearing in mind President Xi's expectations, has embraced the concept of ecological civilization to chart a path of high-quality development-bringing greenery to mountains and rivers, empowering industries across sectors, and benefiting countless households. The province is making every effort to achieve the integrated goals of economic prosperity, public well-being, and environmental excellence.

The remarkable transformation of Colorful Guizhou is a vivid reflection of the broader changes unfolding in the pursuit of a Beautiful China and stands as a powerful testament to the truth and practical strength of Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization. Guizhou will continue to work with all parties to ensure the success of the forum and fully leverage its outcomes, striving to enhance the "green content" of development to boost its "gold content," and to present a new image of a beautiful Guizhou-pristine, low-carbon, and vibrant.

Liu Jie stated that Zhejiang is one of the birthplaces of Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization. In 2005, during a visit to Yucun Village in Anji, Comrade Xi Jinping first proposed the concept "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets," initiating the province-level practice of Chinese modernization marked by harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

Over the past 20 years, Zhejiang has pursued a consistent blueprint across successive administrations, advancing green and low-carbon development across all sectors, implementing comprehensive ecological remediation, promoting ecological protection and restoration throughout the region, and strengthening territorial spatial planning in all dimensions. The province has become China's first "eco-province," achieving a remarkable transformation from "Green Zhejiang" to "Ecological Zhejiang," and now to "Beautiful Zhejiang." He extended a warm invitation to all guests to visit Zhejiang and experience firsthand the charm of "Picturesque Jiangnan, Dynamic Zhejiang."

Lü Yansong remarked that Xinhua News Agency will continue to deepen its coverage and interpretation of Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization, vividly presenting the Guizhou chapter of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, and highlighting China's green transformation as both an inspiration and a call to action for the world.
