Secretary of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Regional Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Ma Xingrui with the diplomats. Chairman of Uyghur Autonomous Region Erkin Tuniyaz also joined them.
Secretary Ma Xingrui said, since the CPC’s 18th National Congress, Xinjiang has effectively implemented the CPC’s goals and policies for the administration of Xinjiang in the new era.
For the people, it has given social stability, peace, and prosperity. Any misinformation campaign cannot disrupt the achievements of Xinjiang in terms of prosperity, development, and protection of human rights.
The region’s pace for prosperity and development will undoubtedly speed up. Through the visit, the envoys will also gain a deeper and more thorough understanding of the region.
China and Islamic nations have a long history of friendship and close collaboration. As the heart of the Silk Road Economic Belt, Xinjiang is eager to encourage regional interactions and collaboration with Islamic nations for the benefit of the people.
Remarks from Envoys
The diplomats praised the “People First” approach of the Chinese government in the Xinjiang region of China. The diplomats said the freedom of religion and numerous rights of Muslims are properly maintained.
They also noted that the region has made significant efforts and achieved positive outcomes in economic growth, ethnic unity, ecological preservation, and other spheres.

The delegation met face to face with the religious families and also witnessed the harmonious coexistence of all ethnic groups of the region.
They visited several areas in Xinjiang and enterprises to look for opportunities for economic development and practical cooperation.
