Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Saturday emphasized efforts to ensure transportation services during the Spring Festival travel rush, focus on workplace safety and social stability, and improve the quality of tourism services, ensuring people enjoy a happy and peaceful holiday.
Li, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks during an inspection tour of the Ministry of Emergency Management.
Li visited the joint duty room at the emergency command headquarters, where he extended greetings to on-duty staff and learned about duty and standby arrangements during the Spring Festival holiday.
Li noted that the Spring Festival is a time for family reunions across the nation, stressing the need to improve emergency response plans. In the event of any major emergency, incidents must be reported promptly, responded to rapidly, and handled efficiently, he said.
Through the video system, he learned about the transportation and service guarantee measures for the holiday travel rush. He pointed out that the Spring Festival travel rush is a major test to evaluate the transportation service capabilities.
Efforts must be made to coordinate transport capacity, improve passenger services, help solve practical problems for travelers, and strengthen preparations and responses to hazardous weather, he said. Li heard briefings on safety prevention measures in key sectors, including mining, hazardous chemicals, firefighting, and major construction projects, emphasizing safety must always be of top priority.
He was also briefed on the tourism market and related work during the holiday period.

President of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay Yamandu Orsi said that his recent trip to China had given him a genuine sense of the country, adding that seeing the real China makes it easier to build trust and forge stronger bonds.
Orsi made his first state visit to China from Feb 1 to 7. In an interview with China Media Group (CMG), he said the first word that came to mind was "gratitude" or "thanks," in describing his feelings about the trip.
"Looking back on the past and at the present moment, I would say that I have truly experienced the real China. That sense of realness grows out of a dream. At this moment, I can deeply feel that I am in contemporary China, a country that carries forward a long and unbroken history. I have said before that whether in the past, the present or the future, the world needs to know the real China. Beyond my profound gratitude, what I feel most strongly is that I have genuinely experienced the real China," said Orsi.
Orsi said that a deeper understanding of China could help strengthen ties, adding that entrepreneurs and representatives who accompanied him stressed the need to advance cooperation with a country they regard as trustworthy and reliable.
"When people truly come to know the real China, it becomes easier to build trust and to forge the strongest bonds. The image your country presents is so clear and transparent, and in today's global landscape, that is a tremendous advantage. It is precisely for this reason that more than 100 entrepreneurs and representatives from various sectors immediately decided to accompany me to China. They have also expressed the belief that it is necessary to move forward in cooperation with a country and a people that are trustworthy and can continue to be trusted over time," said Orsi.
