The value of good policies lies in taking action and the crucial aspect is their implementation. How will the policies proposed in this year's report be implemented and deliver effective results? Thank you.

Shen Danyang:

I will address this question. The worth of any plan lies in its implementation. The State Council started early and is working diligently to ensure the effective execution of this year's government agenda. After the Spring Festival, a plenary meeting of the State Council was convened for deployment and mobilization. After the conclusion of the "two sessions," the State Council will convene another plenary meeting for further deployment, and hold an executive meeting to break down the tasks outlined in the government work report. Overall, the aim is to ensure the effective implementation of the policies in this year's report by strengthening collaborative coordination, promoting pragmatic innovation, improving administrative efficiency, and refining incentive and assessment measures. This involves many specific mechanisms and supervisory measures, and it is expected that more significant results will be achieved. For example, to promote the implementation of policies benefiting enterprises and the public, the first step is to further advance "one-stop government services." Since last year, the State Council has introduced 33 key initiatives in three batches, including business relocations, newborn registrations, housing provident fund loans, and trade-in subsidy applications. These are being systematically redesigned to offer a "one-place, one-window, one-network or one-submission" experience. The feedback from all sectors has been positive. The next step will be to include more items on the list and improve both online and offline services, thereby enhancing policy implementation efficiency and boosting convenience for the public and businesses in handling affairs. Another example is in motivating officials to focus on implementation. This requires both an improved evaluation system to stimulate the internal driving power to get things done, and a sustained effort to address formalism and reduce unnecessary burdens at the primary level. This includes cutting down on repetitive, fragmented and cumbersome inspections and assessments directed at the public, thereby allowing officials to dedicate greater attention to practical work.

Of course, the implementation of various policy measures requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society, which makes the promotion and interpretation of this year's government work report essential. The Research Office of the State Council has specifically organized the compilation of a series of reading materials, including guidebooks for the government work report, study Q&As, and face-to-face discussions on hot topic policies. This is work that is carried out every year. These supplementary reading materials will be published soon by the People's Publishing House and China Yan Shi Press. We hope they will provide useful reference for everyone to study the report, understand the report, and effectively implement the work. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask all journalist for your attention and support. That's all from me. Thank you.

Shou Xiaoli:
