A conference was held in Changchun, capital of Northeast China's Jilin province, on Aug 12, calling for leading private enterprises across the country to promote the comprehensive revitalization and development of the province. 

Co-hosted by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) and the provincial government of Jilin, the conference highlighted the role of private enterprises and presented them with opportunities in the development of the province. 

Gao Yunlong, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the ACFIC, addressed the conference. 

Gao said that the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China made strategic arrangements for further deepening reform comprehensively with a focus on promoting Chinese modernization, which will unleash greater momentum for economic and social development. He encouraged private enterprises across the country to seize the opportunities brought by comprehensive reform, strengthen their confidence in development, maintain strategic focus and proactively address challenges. He urged them to adapt to the demands of new quality productive forces, accurately position themselves within their industries and prioritize innovation to enhance their competitiveness. He also called on private enterprises to accelerate the establishment of a modern corporate system with Chinese characteristics, and continuously improve their management capabilities and governance standards. 

Acknowledging the various measures implemented in Jilin province to optimize the business environment in recent years, including efforts to streamline administration, delegate power to lower-level governments, improve regulation and services, Gao said these efforts have significantly boosted satisfaction among private enterprises, and invigorated the private economy. He said he hoped that private enterprises would use the conference as an opportunity to explore Jilin's advantages in resources, strategic location and environment, benefit from the policies for the revitalization of Northeast China, and increase investment in the province.
