00:00The Information Office of China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region invites people from
00:07all over the world to visit and experience the real Xinjiang in view of past negative
00:12reports that Xinjiang has been plagued with.
00:15In terms of economic development, economic and trade exchanges, people-to-people exchanges,
00:20and tourism exchanges, people from the religious community can come to Xinjiang for these exchanges.
00:27Although Xinjiang and Malaysia are far apart, I think through exchanges, people-to-people
00:35exchanges, the two countries' hearts will become more and more connected, and people will
00:41get to know each other better and have a deeper friendship.
00:43In the process of building China's modernization, Xinjiang's tomorrow will definitely be better.
00:50Please believe it.
00:52Welcome to Xinjiang.
00:54Xinjiang's Information Office Deputy Director Chen Cheng attended the Concord Club meeting
00:59in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday to speak about the real Xinjiang from multiple perspectives.
01:06He told the attendees that Xinjiang's image has been misperceived in negative narratives
01:10by outsiders for too long.
01:12He said Xinjiang is scripting a new chapter, and every visitor can play the role of a storyteller
01:17contributing to experiences that reveal the reality of Xinjiang.
01:21Xinjiang is the core area of Belt and Road, the golden channel of Asia-Pacific, and the
01:27bridgehead that opens to the West, and also a strategic point of the new development pattern.
01:33Xinjiang is 166.49 million square kilometers, one-sixth of the country's land area.
01:39It is connected to eight neighboring countries, and has a border line of more than 5,700 kilometers.
01:44Xinjiang is also an important energy, food, and grain and oil base for the country.
01:53Xinjiang should be active and united in development and security, development and stability.
01:59For example, Urumqi, Yilin, and Kashgar will be built in the future, with a higher level of
02:06activity to show the world that China is a high-tech city in the process of modernization.
02:13He said Xinjiang recorded a notable GDP of 6.8 percent last year, and an increase in
02:21fiscal revenue exceeding 220 billion yuan, which was a significant increase of 15.3 percent.
02:29Xinjiang was also ranked among the top five in China in terms of investment, exports,
02:33and consumption.
02:35As of September this year, tourist arrivals in Xinjiang increased by 14.97 percent to
02:41246 million tourists.
02:44Other speakers at the meeting included representatives from the China Islamic Association, Xinjiang
02:49University, Northeast University of Political Science and Law, and Xinjiang Academy of Social Sciences.
