He stressed the importance of efforts to fully, accurately and comprehensively implement the new development philosophy, fulfill the requirements for high-quality development and unswervingly follow the path of giving priority to ecological protection and pursuing green development.

China will further balance land greening and farmland protection, as it has been working to ensure the nation's farmland acreage remains above the redline of 1.8 billion mu (about 120 million hectares), he said.

Han also called for efforts to protect ecological resources, fight illegal logging, wildlife trafficking and occupation of forests and grasslands, prevent forest and grassland fires, and guard against forest and grassland pests.
