Before the meeting, Han Zheng specifically asked the Ministry of Ecological Environment and the Central Radio and Television Station to organize forces, which lasted nearly three months, covered 52 cities, and traveled nearly 300000 kilometers. He went deep into nine provinces and regions along the Yellow River to carry out covert inspection and covert photography, edit and form a warning film of the ecological environment of the Yellow River basin, and conducted a professional "physical examination" of the Yellow River basin. A warning film was broadcast at the meeting, and leaders of nine provinces and regions along the Yellow River and relevant departments made speeches after watching it.

Han Zheng stressed that we should further improve our ideological understanding and deeply understand the significance of promoting ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin. General Secretary Xi Jinping took protecting and harnessing the Yellow River as a major event in governing the country. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, he has made many on-the-spot investigations on the ecological protection of the Yellow River basin and the development of coastal provinces and regions, and made a series of important speeches, instructions and instructions. We should adhere to the guidance of Xi Jinping's ecological civilization thought, earnestly improve our political position, put the protection of the ecological environment of the Yellow River basin in an overwhelming position, and strive to promote high-quality development of the Yellow River basin.

Han Zheng pointed out that in order to do a good job in ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin, we must adhere to the problem orientation, find problems, face problems directly, and solve problems in a timely manner. First of all, we should see the problem. The biggest problem is not seeing the problem. The situation of ecological protection in the Yellow River basin is still serious, and water resources are in serious shortage. It is necessary to fully implement the requirements of determining the city, the place, the people and the production with water, take water resources as the biggest rigid constraint, and resolutely curb illegal water intake and use. We should accelerate green transformation, adjust and optimize the industrial structure, and resolutely curb the blind development of "two high" projects. We should focus on solving the problems of ecological damage and environmental pollution in the Yellow River basin, strengthen comprehensive management, and continue to improve the quality of the ecological environment. We should seriously deal with the prominent problem of occupying or destroying cultural relics and historic sites, and earnestly strengthen the protection of cultural heritage resources in the Yellow River basin.

Han Zheng stressed that we should pay close attention to the rectification of problems and ensure that the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee take root. We should innovate the working mechanism, discover problems and solve problems. To implement the main responsibility, all provinces and autonomous regions should transmit pressure and implement the rectification task to local party committees, governments and responsible departments at all levels. We should strengthen supervision and guidance, overcome formalism and bureaucracy, and ensure effective rectification. We should seriously deal with environmental violations in accordance with the law and solve the problem of low illegal costs. We should make up for loopholes in the system according to local conditions, and speed up the improvement of the planning and policy system in the process of promoting rectification. We should encourage the community and the public to participate actively, strengthen the supervision of the media, the masses and other aspects, and do a good job in the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin.

Members of the leading group for ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin, the leading group office and leaders of relevant departments and units were encouraged to attend the meeting.
