Wu Zhenglong, secretary of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee, called for efforts to effectively coordinate COVID-19 prevention and control with economic and social development during a visit to Nantong City on September 6.
Wu said it’s necessary to accurately and fully understand the new development idea, promote high-quality development, and consolidate the momentum of economic recovery.
The Yangtze River Delta region is rising as a world-class hub of biomedicine, a strategic emerging industry closely related to the people’s livelihood. Wu visited Biocytogen Pharmaceuticals Jiangsu and urged the company to focus on the public health needs, pursue the innovation-driven and market-driven growth, make full use of the resources of the delta region, and contribute to Healthy Jiangsu and Healthy China Initiatives.
At the SYRICIT (Nantong) Co Ltd, Wu learned about the company's business development in the fields of agriculture, chemicals and medicine. He encouraged the company to give full play to its technical and talent advantages, innovate the testing methods and service, improve the testing performance and reliability, and support the high-quality development and people’s wellbeing.

During his visit to Easpring Material Technology, a company mainly engaged in the research and production of lithium-ion battery cathode materials, Wu said China’s goals to peak carbon emissions and achieve carbon neutrality provide a strategic opportunity for the development of new energy and new materials industry. Efforts are needed to ensure workplace safety, adhere to green development, combine the technical and manufacturing advantages with Jiangsu's industrial and talent advantages, accelerate the construction of new projects, and make greater contributions to the realization of the "dual carbon" goals, said Wu.
He also stressed that Nantong and other cities should seize major opportunities from development strategies, such as the integrated development of the delta, advance economic recovery, and improve people's livelihood for high-quality development.
