Liu Wei, Secretary of the Party Group and Minister of the Ministry of Transport: Improving the modern comprehensive transportation system provides strong guarantee for making decisive progress in achieving socialist modernization.

Question: The "Recommendation" clearly states the need to accelerate the construction of a strong transportation nation. How to grasp the strategic goal of achieving a strong transportation nation during the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period? The "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" period is a critical period for achieving the strategic goal of a strong transportation nation. The transportation industry should deeply implement the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee, adhere to the principle of people-oriented transportation, focus on promoting the high-quality development of transportation, improve the modern comprehensive transportation system, create first-class facilities, technology, management, and services, and provide strong guarantees for achieving decisive progress in basically realizing socialist modernization. To improve the modern comprehensive transportation system, we need to focus on the "One Network, Four Enhancements". "One Network" refers to accelerating the construction of a modern, high-quality national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network that is convenient, smooth, economical, efficient, green, intensive, and intelligent. We need to continuously improve the infrastructure networks of railways, highways, water transportation, civil aviation, and postal express delivery. The completion rate of the "6 axes, 7 corridors, 8 channels" main framework should reach over 95%, providing strong support for the "National 123 Travel Circle" and the "Global 123 Fast Cargo Logistics Circle". "Four Enhancements" means promoting transportation integration, safety enhancement, digital intelligence, and green transformation. We must emphasize integration and promote deep integration across regions, modes, and fields, leverage the comparative advantages and efficiency of various modes of transportation, vigorously develop multimodal transport, optimize and adjust the transportation structure, and enhance the level of hub cities. We must emphasize safety enhancement, firmly establish the bottom line of safe development, strengthen proactive defense against disaster weather, firmly prevent major accidents, strengthen the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of new employment groups, and improve a diversified and resilient international transportation channel system. We must emphasize digital intelligence upgrade, seize the historical opportunities of the new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, strengthen major scientific and technological advancements, promote the development of smart transportation, actively cultivate new scenarios and new formats, and continuously enhance the new momentum of transportation development. We must emphasize green transformation, promote zero-carbon transportation corridors and station construction, promote the application of clean energy transportation equipment, strengthen carbon emission reduction systems and capacity building, strengthen ecological protection and resource conservation efforts while aiming for carbon peak and carbon neutrality.
