我们今天非常高兴,能够汇集在美丽的邕江之滨、广西壮族自治区首府南宁,举行全国第二次山区综合开发科技工作讨论会。一九八三年的八月,我们在河北石家庄开了第一次山区综合开发的科技工作讨论会。如果说当时我们讨论的着眼点只是在于:引起对科技进山、振兴山区的重要意义的认识;初步提出了山区开发的战略;研究了怎样选定山区开发的突破口,迅速起步。那么经过一年零八个月大家的共同努力,各省市都进行了山区开发的工作。实践说明,大家对山区振兴的重要性和迫切性有了越来越深刻的体会,也同时说明,只要我们有了正确的战略、方针和政策,组织科技进山,山区经济发展的巨大潜力 We are very pleased today to bring together the beautiful Qijiang coast and Nanning, the capital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, to hold the second seminar on scientific and technological work for the comprehensive development of mountain areas nationwide. In August 1983, we opened the first seminar on scientific and technological work for the comprehensive development of mountain areas in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. If we say that the focus of our discussions at that time was simply that we should: arouse our understanding of the importance of science and technology in mountainous areas and the rejuvenation of mountainous areas; initially put forward the strategy of developing mountainous areas; and study how to select a breakthrough point for the development of mountainous areas and start off rapidly. Then after a year and eight months of joint efforts of everyone, all provinces and cities have carried out mountain development work. Practice shows that people have more and more profound understandings on the importance and urgency of rejuvenating the mountainous areas. At the same time, it shows that as long as we have the correct strategies, guidelines and policies and organize the great potential of science and technology into mountains and mountainous areas for economic development
