Editor's note: Deputies from Zhanjiang to the ongoing National People's Congress hailed this year's Government Work Report on Tuesday.

Zhanjiang should build a distinctive modern marine city, make the ocean a strategic priority for high-quality development, scientifically exploit marine resources and accelerate development of the marine economy. It should also steadily promote ecological improvement and effectively solve issues concerning the lives of residents to enhance their sense of gain, happiness and security.

Zeng Jinze, mayor of Zhanjiang

The Government Work Report is a boon for the social and economic development of Zhanjiang. The report puts forward acceleration in the development of cutting-edge industries such as hydrogen energy, new materials and innovative medicine, which are also Zhanjiang's emerging and future industries.

Ning Ling, vice-president of Guangdong Ocean University

The report mentions the need to expedite the development of new-type energy systems and to strengthen the building of large-scale wind and photovoltaic bases as well as outbound channels. This points the way for Zhanjiang to accelerate the innovative development of offshore wind power.

Ren Jiajiong, engineer of Guangdong Datang International Leizhou Power Generation

The report proposes to deepen and solidify the high-quality joint development of the Belt and Road Initiative and accelerate the construction of new land-sea channels in western regions. Zhanjiang should seize this opportunity, strengthen the foundation for high-quality development, open up logistics channels and reduce logistics costs.

Liu Bin, board chairman of Zhanjiang Port Group

Zhanjiang should focus on reshaping the industrial chain and value chain with an industrialized concept, achieving sustainable and high-quality development with an ecological concept and promoting transformation with a digitized concept.

Lin Shuixi, chairman of Jinling Group

I am particularly interested in the content related to rural vitalization, food security, grassroots social governance and people's well-being in the Government Work Report. The report mentions scientific and technological innovation several times and I will lead off the application of technological innovation to agricultural production and development.

Lin Jiaru, chairman of Guangdong Dongnong Industry

As a major aquaculture city in Guangdong province, Zhanjiang has maintained its leading position in the total quantity and output value of aquaculture for more than 20 years. Developing the mariculture base in Zhanjiang has special advantages and the construction of a "blue granary" concerns food security. This not only promotes aquaculture vitalization but also ensures the implementation of national strategies, which is of great significance.
