Chinese Vice President Zeng Qinghong called for boosting the development of modern agriculture during an inspection tour to Wuhai, a city in western Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on Friday.
"Development of modern agriculture is the primary task of building socialist new countryside," Zeng said while visiting Haibowan modern farming demonstration park in Wuhai.
Zeng urged local people to develop high-efficient and environment-friendly agriculture by applying up-to-date technology and expertise, continue to increase farmers' income and break a new path in narrowing the gap between urban and rural areas.
As a rising industrial city featuring mining and chemical development, the city shoulders a tough task to reduce pollution and reduce energy consumption. Zeng hopes the city to balance environment protection with the economic development.
Zeng was here with the central government delegation to mark Inner Mongolia' 60th founding anniversary.
