I hope you can actively perform your duties in the future, and better play the role of people’s congress deputies for the people, and work together with the Communist Party of China and the government to strive to build Luohu as a pioneer in sustainable development,” Liu said.

Liu said that the Huangbei sub-district office should boost its industrial development, while also upgrading its traditional industries and fostering a group of influential industrial clusters.
