The Zhejiang provincial development and reform system held a work symposium in Hangzhou on the afternoon of June 21, 2026, to study and deploy efforts for a good start to the 15th Five-Year Plan period. The meeting was chaired by Zhang Chunhua, deputy director of the Zhejiang Development and Reform Commission, with concluding remarks by Chen Hengzhi, secretary of the commission's Party Leadership Group.
The meeting identified three key tasks for high-quality development that the system must address. First, on making common prosperity more tangible and accessible, the system needs to solve issues such as regional coordination gaps, dual-city linkage, institutional barriers, open circulation, project implementation, and livelihood shortfalls. Second, with artificial intelligence as a core variable, it must answer questions on building computing infrastructure, activating data as a factor, developing application scenarios, nurturing future industries, coordinating the service economy, and deploying the 'six networks'. Third, regarding the green and low-carbon transition from passive to active, it needs to clarify carbon accounting methods, paths for overall industrial park transformation, effective utilization of green electricity, orderly phase-out of coal power, and how project planning aligns with green and low-carbon goals.
The meeting emphasized that the provincial development and reform system should adhere to forward-looking research, seizing opportunities, prioritizing projects, front-end scheduling, and integrated coordination. In terms of work methods, it called for promoting the 'six-drive' spirit and using the '4353' work paradigm and the approach of 'iterative mechanism improvement plus targeted problem-solving', with the aim of achieving results through hard work and breakthroughs through smart work. It also set out orientations toward demand and problem solving, grassroots empowerment, and solid performance, and deployed requirements for establishing a correct view on political performance, carrying out rectification on outstanding issues of 'new officials ignoring old accounts', and implementing Party conduct and integrity construction.
Attendees included members of the leadership of the Zhejiang Development and Reform Commission (Zhejiang Energy Administration), the principal head of the Zhejiang Development Planning Institute, second-level inspectors of the commission, heads of various departments and affiliated units, and heads of the development and reform commissions of all districted cities.
