China will continue to concentrate on economic construction and seize the strategic opportunities afforded by the first 20 years of the century to speed up the country's development, said President Hu Jintao Tuesday.

Hu urged Party officials to push forward with reforms by accelerating the innovation of systems to further open up to the outside and develop an export orientated economy.

He said the eastern parts of China, together with Guangdong Province, are entering a new development phase, one which poses fresh challenges and opportunities. With the help of scientific and technological innovation andf efficient management of human resources, the area should be able to set an examplefor the construction of both a material and culturallly prosperous civilization.

Topping the agenda, he said, is the need to care for the lives of the people, whether they bein poverty-stricken regions or economically better-off areas.
