FUZHOU — Vice-Premier Hu Chunhua urged solid action on rural construction, in a bid to push forward rural revitalization and modernization.

Describing rural construction as a significant part of national modernization, Hu said that unremitting efforts should be made to ensure rural residents can also lead modern lives. He made the comments on June 20 while addressing a meeting on rural construction in Sanming, East China's Fujian province.

He cited measures to reinforce rural infrastructure, build a livable and beautiful rural environment, and improve rural basic public services.

Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, the work should be done according to local conditions and step by step, Hu said, also calling for the participation of people from various sectors of society.
