Over the past year, we have persevered through difficulties, risen to challenges, and attained hard-won results. These achievements are attributable to the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, and the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. They are also attributable to the CPC Beijing Municipal Committee and all citizens of Beijing, who have forged ahead in unity and with tenacity. Here, on behalf of the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to all the people of Beijing, to the deputies to the Municipal People’s Congress and members of the Municipal CPPCC Committee, to other political parties, people’s organizations, and individuals from all sectors of society, to all CPC central organs and central government departments, to other municipalities, provinces, and autonomous regions, to officers and rank-and-file members of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and the People’s Armed Police Force based in Beijing, to our fellow countrymen and women in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, and to overseas Chinese and foreign friends who have actively supported and contributed to the capital’s development.
