民族团结是新疆各族人民的生命线,是我们做好一切工作的根本前提和保证。正确处理好社会主义新时期的民族关系,不断巩固和增强各民族的大团结,不仅事关新疆稳定发展,也关系到全国改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的大局。新中国成立以来,在自治区党委、人民政府的正确领导下,我们始终把维护民族团结摆在突出的位置,始终放在心上, National unity is the lifeline of the people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang and is the fundamental premise and guarantee for all our work. Correctly handling the ethnic relations in the new period of socialism and constantly consolidating and enhancing the great unity of all ethnic groups are not only related to the stable development of Xinjiang but also to the overall situation of China’s reform and opening up as well as the socialist modernization drive. Since the founding of New China, under the correct leadership of the party committees and people’s governments of the autonomous regions, we have always put the safeguarding of national unity in a prominent position and have always placed our hearts in mind.
