刚刚过去的2019年，对山东来说，极不平凡。这是克难攻坚、砥砺奋进的一年。一年来，面对严峻复杂形势，我们坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，认真落实习近平总书记对山东工作的重要指示要求，坚持稳中求进工作总基调，以供给侧结构性改革为主线，全面实施八大发展战略，经济社会持续健康发展。我们紧紧牵住新旧动能转换重大工程“牛鼻子”，坚决培育壮大新动能、淘汰落后动能、改造提升传统动能，高新技术企业新增2000余家，总量突破1.1万家。我们聚焦聚力重大战略，高标准打造乡村振兴齐鲁样板，扎实推进海洋强省建设，重大基础设施建设进入“快车道”，高铁、高速公路通车里程分别达到1987公里、6447公里，实现“县县通高速”，省内高铁成环运行。
这是改革开放、创新引领的一年。我们用好“关键一招”，大力强化制度创新、流程再造，深化开发区体制机制、扩权强县等重点领域改革，全面落实减税降费政策，市场主体总量超过1000万户，对“一带一路”沿线国家进出口增长15%以上，新设外商投资企业2000多家。我们组建山东产业技术研究院、山东高等技术研究院、山东能源研究院等重大创新平台，与中科院共建海洋大科学研究中心，与中国工程院共建中国工程科技发展战略研究院，建设20家省级“政产学研金服用”创新创业共同体，创新型省份建设展开新布局。
这是社会稳定、民安物阜的一年。我们高质量打好“三大攻坚战”，有力有效防范化解重大风险，巩固提升脱贫攻坚成果，持续打好“蓝天保卫战”等八场标志性战役，“蓝天白云、繁星闪烁”由“奢侈品”变成“日常品”。我们扎实保障和改善民生，全年城镇新增就业130多万人，社会养老保险覆盖7700多万人，基本医疗保险覆盖9500多万人，20项民生实事扎实推进，人民群众有了更多更实的获得感、幸福感、安全感。
回首一年工作，既有奋斗的艰辛，也有收获的喜悦。成绩来之不易，这是以习近平同志为核心的党中央坚强领导的结果，是全省人民辛勤劳动、奋斗拼搏的结果，也离不开港澳同胞、台湾同胞、海外侨胞和社会各界人士的关心、帮助和支持。在此，谨向大家表示衷心感谢!
2020年是全面建成小康社会、实现“十三五”规划目标和我省新旧动能转换初见成效的决战决胜之年。我们将坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，全面贯彻党的十九大和十九届二中、三中、四中全会精神，认真落实习近平总书记对山东工作的重要指示要求，按照“走在前列、全面开创”目标定位，坚持稳中求进工作总基调，坚持新发展理念，坚持以深化供给侧结构性改革为主线，坚持以改革开放为动力，推动高质量发展，确保新旧动能转换初见成效、全面建成小康社会和“十三五”规划圆满收官。
小康不小康，关键看老乡。我们将始终坚持以人民为中心的发展思想，统筹推进稳增长、促改革、调结构、惠民生、防风险、保稳定，把群众的安危冷暖放在心上，把上学、看病、养老、就业、社保等民生实事抓在手上，解决好群众的操心事烦心事揪心事，让高质量发展的底色更实，让全面建成小康社会的成色更足。
当今时代，开放合作是主旋律，也是最强音。我们将牢记习近平总书记“打造对外开放新高地”的殷殷嘱托，用好中国(山东)自贸试验区、上合示范区、黄河流域生态保护和高质量发展等重大战略平台，努力推动更宽领域、更深层次、更高水平的对外开放，与时代同行，与世界共赢。热诚欢迎海内外朋友常来山东走一走、看一看，感受这里悠久的历史、灿烂的文化、优美的环境、好客的人民，感受山东贯彻新发展理念、推动高质量发展的澎湃动力、昂扬态势、光明前景，共享新机遇，共创新未来。我们将不断做优营商的软环境、发展的硬环境、创新创业的大环境，为天下英才、广大客商来山东施展才华、成就梦想，提供一流的政策支持和服务保障，让大家在山东工作生活得顺心、舒心、安心。

New Year Message
Gong Zheng, Governor of Shandong Province
As spring is approaching, a new year begins. On this occasion of bidding farewell to the old year and ushering in the new, I wish to extend, on behalf of the People’s Government of Shandong Province and 100 million people in Shandong, my sincere greetings and New Year wishes to our fellow Chinese in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions and Taiwan, fellow Chinese overseas, and to people in all sectors for their interest in and support for Shandong.
2019 has been a truly remarkable year for Shandong. Over the past year, we have overcome difficulties and forged ahead. In the face of grim and complicated challenges, we, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, acted on the important instructions and requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping for the work of Shandong, followed the guiding principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability, pursued supply-side structural reform as our main task, implemented the 8 major development strategies across the province, and achieved sustained and sound economic and social progress. With the major program of growth drivers transformation high on our agenda, we have been cultivating and strengthening new drivers of growth, phasing out outdated growth drivers, and transforming and upgrading traditional ones. Over 2,000 new high-tech enterprises were established in the province, making the total number exceed 11,000. We focused on major development strategies, adopted high standards for building Shandong into a model of rural revitalization, and made solid progress in pursuing Shandong’s maritime development. Major infrastructure development has entered a “fast track”, as evidenced by the 1,987 kilometers of high-speed railways and 6,447 kilometers of expressways, as well as the fact that every county of the province now has access to expressway, and a ring-shaped high-speed railway network has taken shape.
Over the past year, we have pursued reform, opening-up and innovation-driven development. By making full use of reform and opening-up -- a game-changing move, we made great efforts in advancing institutional exploration and process reengineering, facilitated reforms in key areas such as the systems and mechanisms for governing development zones, and delegating more powers to county-level governments. We fully implemented tax and fee reduction policies. The number of market entities exceeded 10 million. The import and export volume with countries along the Belt and Road increased by over 15%, and more than 2,000 new foreign-invested companies were established in the province. Several major innovation platforms were launched, including Shandong Institute of Industrial Technology, Shandong Institute for Advanced Technology, and Shandong Institute for Energy Research. We also put in place the Center for Ocean Mega-Science together with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shandong Research Institute of Development Strategies for China’s Engineering Sciences with the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and 20 provincial-level communities of innovation and entrepreneurship combining “governments, industries, academia, research institutes, financial capital, service sectors and commercialization”, thus breaking new grounds in making Shandong an innovation-driven province.
Over the past year, we have ensured social stability and people’s well-being. Sound performances were secured in the fight against “Three Critical Battles”. We took heavyweight and effective measures to forestall and defuse serious and major risks, and consolidated achievements in poverty alleviation. We made continuous efforts to notch up victories in the eight landmark battles, including the one to keep our skies blue. As a result, blue skies, white clouds and twinkling stars, once regarded as luxuries, have become commonplace. Solid steps were taken to secure and improve people’s well-being. More than 1.3 million urban jobs were created in the whole year; social pension insurance and basic medical insurance were expanded to cover over 77 million and 95 million people respectively; 20 programs designed to improve people’s livelihood witnessed solid progress. Now our people have greater senses of fulfillment, happiness and security.
Although there were arduous efforts in last year’s work, there were also joys of success. We owe these hard-won achievements to the firm leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, to the diligence and commitment of all people across the province and to the interest and support from our fellow Chinese in the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, in Taiwan and around the world, and people in all sectors. I would like to take this opportunity to extend sincere appreciation to all of you.
The year 2020 will see decisive victories in finishing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, meeting goals of the 13th Five-Year Plan, and achieving initial results in the transformation of growth drivers in our province. We will continue to be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, fully implement the guiding principles of the Party’s 19th National Congress and the second, third and fourth plenary sessions of its 19th Central Committee, put in practice important instructions and requirements over the work in Shandong made by General Secretary Xi Jinping, strive to take the lead and make all-round breakthroughs, follow the guiding principle of making progress while ensuring stability, act on the new development philosophy, pursue the deepening of supply-side structural reform as our major task, promote high-quality development driven by reform and opening-up, so as to achieve initial outcomes in developing new drivers of growth and bring a successful conclusion to our efforts to finish the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and the 13th Five-Year Plan.
People's living standards are the measure of success in our drive to build a moderately prosperous society. With the commitment to our people-centered philosophy of development, we will make coordinated efforts to maintain stable growth, advance reform, make structural adjustments, improve living standards, guard against risks, and ensure stability. We will always keep in mind the wellbeing of the people, and take practical actions to improve education, medical care, elderly care, employment, social security, and other areas benefiting people’s lives. We must solve the pressing, difficult and worrying issues troubling our people. All of our efforts will lay a more solid foundation for high-quality development and bring more successes in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.
Openness and cooperation are the dominant theme and the strongest message of today’s world. General Secretary Xi Jinping required us to explore new horizons of opening-up. Bearing his instruction in mind, we will give full play to major strategic platforms including China (Shandong) Pilot Free Trade Zone, SCO Demonstration Zone, and Environmental Protection and High-Quality Development in the Yellow River Basin, in order to steer our opening-up toward higher levels and into more areas and greater depths, and keep pace with the times and seek win-win results with the rest of the world. We warmly welcome friends, both from home and abroad, to visit Shandong, to experience its long history, splendid culture, pleasant environment and hospitable people, to feel its passion and promising prospects in following the new development philosophy and promoting high-quality development, and to enjoy new opportunities and create a new future together. We will continue to improve the soft environment for businesses, the hard environment for development, and an enabling environment for innovation and entrepreneurship. We will provide robust policy support and top class services for talent and businessmen who come to Shandong to fulfill their potential and pursue their dreams, and make sure they will work and live in Shandong in a secure, relaxing and satisfying environment.
I sincerely wish you a happy new year and all the best.
