邓小平同志南方视察谈话以后,我们芜湖各级党组织和广大群众深受鼓舞,倍感亲切。两年前,安徽省委、省政府做出“开发皖江、呼应浦东”的决策,把芜湖作为重点和突破口。最近,中央、国务院又宣布芜湖等五个沿江城市进一步对外开放,享受沿海开放城市的有关政策。作为地方党组织如何把握这一千载难逢的发展机遇,带领广大群众担当起进一步改革开放发展经济的历史重任,是摆在我们面前十分紧迫 After Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s inspection tour to the south, we are greatly encouraged by the party organizations and the masses at all levels in Wuhu and feel more cordial. Two years ago, Anhui Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government made the decision of “developing Wanjiang and echoing Pudong” and made Wuhu a focal point and a breakthrough point. Recently, the Central Government and the State Council announced that five other cities along the Yangtze River, such as Wuhu, will further open their doors to the outside world and enjoy the relevant policies of the coastal open cities.
