With the firm leadership of the Party and the government, support from all walks of life and joint efforts of all villagers, the current problems will be solved and homes will be rebuilt, he told the villagers.

He asked local officials to prioritize quake-relief and reconstruction projects and properly take care of the livelihood of quake-affected people.

In his conversation with military officers stationed in the area, Hu called for efforts to enhance military capacity in addressing multiple security threats and accomplishing various military tasks.

Whiling listening to a work report by the provincial government, Hu asked government leaders of all ethnic groups to unify their will and make strenuous efforts in building the region.

Efforts should be made to educate and select minority leaders, encourage grassroots Party committees in serving people of all ethnic groups, safeguarding ethnic unity and promoting social harmony, he said.
