It is essential to thoroughly implement the ecological civilization philosophy, firmly uphold the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, adhere to ecological priority, conservation, intensive and green low-carbon development, and continuously advance the construction of a Beautiful China to new levels.

Goal-oriented and problem-oriented approaches should be maintained, focusing on public expectations to intensify work efforts and persistently consolidate and expand achievements in pollution prevention and control, ecological protection, and restoration. Daily management should be combined with institutional development, continuously deepening reforms of the ecological civilization system, refining supporting institutions, and providing strong guarantees for comprehensively advancing the construction of a Beautiful China.
The meeting noted that formulating standards and related policies for domestic products in government procurement is an important measure to improve the government procurement system and a practical action to implement national treatment for foreign-funded enterprises in the government procurement sector. Based on practical circumstances, domestic product standards should be reasonably classified and set, with specific requirements for key components and processes of certain products. Opinions from all sides should be fully considered, standards should be implemented steadily, a reasonable transition period should be established, and enterprises should be supported in making early industrial layouts and investment plans. All types of business entities should be treated equally and without discrimination to ensure fair competition.
