“民族地区的发展问题要上升到国家战略部署的高度才能更好更快地解决。”这是民进中央深入考察滇西北民族地区之后得出的重要结论。在中共中央、国务院提出科学发展观和“五个统筹”的要求之后,我国民族地区经济社会发展问题的重要性、紧迫性、艰巨性进一步凸现。这也是中国民主促进会极为关心的问题。 “The issue of the development in ethnic areas should rise to the height of the national strategic plan for better and faster settlement.” This is an important conclusion drawn by the people’s central government in conducting an in-depth study of the ethnic areas in northwestern Yunnan. After the CPC Central Committee and the State Council put forward the scientific development concept and the requirements of “five co-ordination plans,” the importance, urgency and arduousness of the economic and social development in our ethnic areas have been further highlighted. This is also a matter of great concern to China Democracy Association.
