Li Yifei, Party secretary of Ningxia and a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, said the region is ratcheting up resources to develop a modern coal chemical industry, new materials, clean energy, digital information, agriculture, culture and tourism.

It is also stepping up efforts to promote the exploitation and utilization of new energy, in order to drive industrial upgrading, cut carbon emissions and reduce pollution, he added.

As China's first demonstration zone for new energy comprehensive construction, Ningxia is a major green power supplier with abundant green energy resources. It is taking tangible steps to advance the green and low-carbon transition of the traditional energy industry.

Li said the installed capacity of new energy in Ningxia reached 41.32 million kilowatts in 2024, accounting for more than 50 percent of the region's total installed power capacity.

The region is at the forefront of the country's transformation to clean and efficient utilization of coal resources, with its modern coal chemical industry making it to the list of national advanced manufacturing clusters.

Ningxia's GDP grew 5.4 percent year-on-year in 2024, ranking sixth in the country and exceeding the national average for 10 consecutive quarters, according to the region's bureau of statistics. The regional GDP reached 550.3 billion yuan ($76 billion) last year.

Last year, Ningxia ranked third in the country in terms of industrial output. The region's industrial output increased 9.6 percent year-on-year, 3.8 percentage points higher than the average growth rate of the country's overall industrial economy.

Li said Ningxia is pressing ahead with new urbanization and rural vitalization to promote the common prosperity of both urban and rural areas, adding that it has promoted new industrialization to drive the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries.

According to the official, the number of new types of agricultural business entities has reached 22,000 in the region, while the output of the agricultural product-processing sector surpassed 100 billion yuan last year.

Ningxia is also vigorously developing its rural tourism sector. The region's rural areas received 13.56 million visits last year, with revenue reaching 1.25 billion yuan.

Li said the region will continue to expand opening-up, improve business environment, facilitate growth of the private sector, and actively participate in Belt and Road cooperation, which will inject fresh impetus and vitality into its high-quality development.

Ningxia is also striving to build data center clusters, network infrastructure and integrated computing power systems to boost the development of its digital economy, as well as promote the digital transformation of industries and the industrialization of digital technologies.

A group of tech companies from home and abroad have built data centers in Ningxia to offer cloud computing services, thanks to the region's abundant energy resources and cooler climate.

Located in the Yellow River basin, Ningxia is surrounded by deserts on three sides and faces the daunting task of conserving and restoring ecosystems. Li said the region is pushing environmental protection and ecological restoration projects, including soil and water conservation and the control of desertification.

黨的十八大以來，習近平總書記3次到寧夏考察指導、看望各族群眾並發表重要講話，賦予寧夏建設黃河流域生態環境保護和高質量發展先行區、建立鑄牢中華民族共同體意識示範區使命任務，為寧夏指明瞭現代化之路、高質量發展之路、改革開放之路、人民共同富裕之路。寧夏始終牢記囑託、感恩奮進，深入學習貫徹黨的二十大、二十屆三中全會和習近平總書記考察寧夏重要講話精神，統籌民族團結進步和促進共同富裕，一體推進先行區建設和示範區建立，各族群眾心齊勁足朝著加快建設美麗新寧夏、奮力譜寫中國式現代化寧夏篇章目標闊步前行。

注重在共同團結奮鬥中聚力中國式現代化寧夏實踐。寧夏全面貫徹新時代黨的民族政策大政方針，有形有感有效加快建立示範區，促進各族群眾在“行”上融入、“心”中融合，凝心聚力共建美麗新寧夏、共同走向現代化。一是持續鞏固發展平等團結互助和諧的社會主義民族關係。堅定不移走中國特色解決民族問題的正確道路，堅持黨中央集中統一領導，把維護中華民族根本利益放在首位，堅持和完善民族區域自治制度，依法治理民族事務，保持了政通人和、民族團結、社會穩定的好局面。二是全面構築中華民族共有精神家園。廣泛開展“牢記總書記囑託、鑄牢中華民族共同體意識”教育，深入實施黨員幹部培元固本、青少年夯基育苗、各族群眾凝心鑄魂、社科理論正本清源工程，組織馬克思主義“五觀”百場萬人宣講，推動中華優秀傳統文化創造性轉化、創新性發展，連續41年開展民族團結進步月活動，實現民族團結進步示範市縣區建立全覆蓋。三是大力促進各民族交往交流交融。統籌城鄉建設佈局規劃和公共服務資源配置，加快構建互嵌式社會結構和社群環境，鼓勵和引導區內外各民族人口跨區域雙向流動融居，推動各民族在空間、文化、經濟、社會、心理等方面全方位互嵌，各族群眾在共居共學、共建共享、共事共樂中越走越近、越融越親，習近平總書記在今年新年賀詞中親切肯定“銀川多民族社群居民親如一家”。

習近平總書記指出，沒有各民族共同團結奮鬥就難以實現社會主義現代化，沒有各民族共同繁榮發展也不是社會主義現代化。寧夏將牢記習近平總書記諄諄囑託，在中國式現代化全域性中聚焦主線、突出主題，進一步共同團結奮鬥、共同繁榮發展，奮力開創經濟繁榮新局面、續寫民族團結新篇章、繪就環境優美新畫卷、建立人民富裕新生活，為建設認同度更高、凝聚力更強的中華民族共同體作出更大貢獻。
