In 2023, the national housing and urban-rural construction system upheld strengthening Party leadership and Party building as the fundamental guarantee for its work, carried out in-depth thematic education on studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, advanced the education and rectification of the cadre ranks, unified strict management and supervision with encouraging responsibility and action, fostered a sound atmosphere of taking responsibility and working together, and opened new prospects for high-quality development of housing and urban-rural construction. The Communist Party of China is the leadership core of the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The key to running China's affairs well lies in the Party. In the new year, we must continue to advance full and rigorous Party self-governance with the firmness and perseverance of always being on the road, and lead housing and urban-rural construction to make new progress and achieve new results in high-quality development.

　　Political development sets the direction. Political development is the "soul" and "foundation." We must firmly uphold the "two确立" and resolutely achieve the "two维护," continue to study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in depth, always keep the "top priorities of the country" in mind, effectively raise our political standing, enhance political judgment, political understanding, and political execution, consolidate and expand the results of thematic education, persevere in forging souls with the Party's innovative theories, and guide Party members and cadres to understand, uphold, and practice the original aspiration. We must study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's ** important speech, especially the important expositions and important instructions on work in the field of housing and urban-rural construction, consciously plan and advance work from the overall situation of the cause of the Party and the country, and provide strong political guarantees for the development of housing and urban-rural construction.

　　Uphold discipline with a strict tone. "Survival comes from vigilance against danger, ruin from indulgence in comfort." We must persistently strengthen Party conduct and clean government building, always uphold the strict tone in enforcing discipline and combating corruption, and forever preserve the Party's advanced nature and purity. We must focus on the "key few," and promote the transmission of the main responsibility for full and rigorous Party self-governance at every level and its full implementation. Style building is always on the road. We must resolutely implement the spirit of the Central Committee's eight-point regulation and its implementation rules, continue to deepen efforts to rectify the "four forms of decadence," focus on rectifying formalism and bureaucracy, and tirelessly promote the normalization and long-term effectiveness of style building. Investigation and research are the foundation for planning affairs and the way to success. We must persist in vigorously promoting the style of investigation and research, adhere to a problem-oriented approach, enhance problem awareness, and truly grasp the situation clearly, identify problems accurately, and propose practical countermeasures.

　　Strengthen the foundation through team building. "In governing the state and managing the country, talent is the priority." We must build a loyal, clean, and responsible cadre team, strictly implement the standards for good cadres in the new era, strictly control the political threshold, firm ideals and convictions, practice the fundamental purpose of serving the people wholeheartedly, guide the broad masses of Party members and cadres to link their personal ideals and pursuits with the needs of the motherland's development and the great cause of national rejuvenation, and use selfless struggle to achieve a state of selfhood. We must adhere to the correct orientation for appointing people that encourages responsibility and action, vigorously promote professionalism and dedication, and focus on improving cadres' ability and level of performance. "Shouting until one's voice breaks is not as good as showing results through action." We must carry forward the spirit of struggle, enhance the ability to struggle, dare to tackle tough issues, and dare to respond to various difficulties, risks, and challenges. "Water does not leap without being stirred; people do not strive without being motivated." We must create a good atmosphere for undertaking work and starting businesses, fully give play to the enthusiasm, initiative, and creativity of Party members and cadres at all levels, and build a high-quality cadre team that is politically strong, professionally proficient, and excellent in style.

　　Organizational leadership promotes implementation. "When everyone is of one heart, even loess can turn into gold." The national housing and urban-rural construction system must be good executors, actors, and doers in implementing the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, further unify thought and action with the major decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee, focus on key work and tasks, effectively strengthen organizational leadership, persist in having each level oversee the level below and each level take charge, strengthen unity of purpose and coordinated action from top to bottom, properly handle the "first mile" and "last mile" of implementing the Party Central Committee's decisions and arrangements, and truly turn the "task list" and "road map" into "construction drawings" and "real scenes." We must unite more closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, gather strength, overcome difficulties, reform and innovate, and promote continuous new progress, new actions, and new breakthroughs in the high-quality development of housing and urban-rural construction, adding luster to the overall situation with the light of one region in the historical process of Chinese-style modernization.
