▌Guangdong stresses high-quality development at beginning of 2023

广东聚力推动高质量发展

▌A grand conference on high-quality development was held on January 28, the first working day after the Chinese New Year holiday. It invited major government officials and business leaders to share their plans for 2023 and highlight opportunities in Guangdong.

1月28日，春节后首个工作日，广东省召开全省高质量发展大会共商发展大计。大会上，政府部门主要领导和企业家代表纷纷发言表态，展望2023年高质量发展的目标计划，把握广东高质量发展机遇。

▌"High-quality development is an inevitable path for Guangdong to achieve modernization. The province has a large population and limited resources, which means it's unwise to compete with its global counterparts on cheap land supply, product price and labor cost," Huang Kunming, Party Chief of Guangdong, addressed at the conference. Huang said high-quality development is key for the province to cope with existing global challenges, direct technological development and optimize economic structure.

广东省委书记黄坤明在会议上指出：“推动高质量发展是广东实现现代化的必由之路。广东人口数量多、资源约束紧......不可能继续拼土地、拼价格、拼劳动力。”黄坤明指出，高质量发展是广东应对全球挑战、引领科技发展和优化经济结构的关键所在。

▌More than 1000 representatives including heads of provincial and municipal government departments attended the conference in Guangzhou. Over 25 thousand representatives of government departments and enterprises of the 21 cities of the province attended online.

省、市政府部门主要负责人等超过1000名代表在主会场参会。大会以视频直播形式开至全省21个地级市，分会场参会人数达2.5万。
