Striving with All Our Might to Boost Development and Achieve a Strong Start, Gong Zheng Presided Over the Executive Meeting of the Municipal Government, Which Also Deliberated on the Implementation of the Global Science and Technology Partnership Program,

　　On March 23, Shanghai Deputy Party Secretary and Mayor Gong Zheng presided over a municipal government executive meeting, requiring in-depth implementation of the spirit of the National Two Sessions, especially the important speeches of General Secretary Xi Jinping. According to the municipal party committee's deployment, efforts should be made to promote development and strive to achieve a "good start" in the first quarter; implement the Global Science and Technology Partner Program to promote deeper, more practical, and broader global scientific and technological cooperation.

　　The meeting pointed out that from January to February, Shanghai's economic operation started strongly and steadily. We must anchor our goals and sprint forward, following the directive requirements of major economic provinces to take the lead, work hard on researching new situations and solving new problems, and continue to strengthen economic resilience and consolidate the foundation for development, striving for the best results with maximum effort. We must grasp the relationship between manufacturing and service industries, adhere to the dual-drive approach, focus on industry without slackening, and make greater contributions to the service industry, promoting the integration and mutual growth of the service and manufacturing industries. We must understand the relationship between goal orientation and problem orientation, as enterprises are the main force for stable growth, and the focus of stable growth is to stabilize enterprises. All departments and districts should, in conjunction with changes in the international situation and Shanghai's actual development, promptly identify and coordinate solutions to the bottleneck problems restricting enterprise operations and development, while accelerating policy implementation and continuously amplifying policy synergy effects. We must grasp the relationship between promoting development and regulating operations, firmly establish and practice a correct view of political achievements, effectively prevent "involution" competition, focus on ensuring the quality of statistical data, and resolutely correct formalism.

　　The meeting agreed in principle to the "Shanghai Global Science and Technology Partner Program" and pointed out the need to build an open, inclusive, mutually beneficial, and shared bridge to promote global scientific and technological cooperation dialogue. We must strengthen strategic guidance, based on our own advantages, industrial layout, and development needs, target cutting-edge directions with precision, and rely on the construction of the Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta) International Science and Technology Innovation Center as a national strategy to promote international scientific and technological cooperation. We must deepen the integration of elements, grasp the flow rules of global innovation elements and the internal logic of international cooperation, promote the exchange of scientific and technological talents, drive the expansion and upgrading of high-level meetings and scientific and technological organizations, focus on smoothing circulation, improving efficiency, and actively participate in the formulation and governance practice of international scientific and technological rules. We must optimize institutional supply, focus on solving common problems in international scientific and technological cooperation, explore data compliance and efficient circulation mechanisms, improve the benefit-sharing mechanism of intellectual property rights, and clear the blockages for innovation entities to carry out international cooperation.

　　The meeting also discussed other matters.
