Hailing Ningxia' progress in consolidating and expanding the achievements made in poverty alleviation in coordination with the drive for rural vitalization, he called for efforts to address issues such as a low degree of agricultural industrialization and weaknesses in rural infrastructure.

It's important to fully enforce the law on the promotion of rural vitalization, enhance agriculture quality and efficiency, improve rural living environment through upgrading facilities, expand sources of income for farmers, and improve their science and technology literacy, according to Wang.
