作为我国着眼于21世纪可持续发展的重大举措，西部大开发是党中央面向新世纪作出的一个重大战略决策，对于发展广大西部经济，巩固边防，维护民族团结和国家统一具有十分重要的意义。在深入西部民族地区采访的过程中，切身感受到广大西部干部群众投身西部大开发的高涨的工作热? As a major move of our country aimed at sustainable development in the 21st century, the large-scale development of the western region is a major strategic decision made by the Party Central Committee in the new century and is of great significance to the development of the vast western economy, the consolidation of frontier defense and the maintenance of national unity and national unification. In the course of going to the interviews in the minority areas of the western region, we personally feel the upsurge in the work of the broad masses of western cadres and the masses in joining the western development.
