The following are highlights of his remarks:

-- The positive trend in preventing and controlling the epidemic has been constantly consolidated and expanded, and the restoration of normal production and everyday life has been quickened.

-- However, new situations and problems, especially the overseas spread of the virus and its negative impacts on the world economy, have brought new challenges.

-- Work priorities and response measures should be tailored to changing situations to win the people's war against the epidemic, and secure a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and fighting poverty.
