New research institute formed to drive Guiyang-Guian rural rejuvenation

An unveiling ceremony held on June 4 saw the establishment of the Guiyang-Guian strategic research institute for rural rejuvenation, which heralds a new phase of development for the rural areas of the two regions.

The research institute gathers together scientists and researchers from relevant fields, who will be expected to uphold the scientific spirit of being independent, objective, just and innovative, and to resolve major problems that arise in the cause of rural rejuvenation.

Functioning as an open platform for coordinated innovation and collaboration, specialized decision-making consultation and technology transfer, the institute will also act as a think tank for the local governments.

The institute's duties include undertaking key rural rejuvenation projects initiated by the Guiyang government and the Guian New Area Party Work Committee; analyzing the strategic, long-term problems that have affected the overall planning of rural prosperity; collecting, classifying and researching successful national cases which can provide valuable reference points within the two regions; and boosting the exchanges, exhibitions, promotions and applications of achievements accomplished in Guiyang-Guian rural development.
