Gong Zheng, Deputy Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee and Mayor, hosted a symposium of municipal government counselors today to listen to opinions and suggestions on the 2026 “Report on the Work of the Government”. Gong Zheng said that all the counselors are experts in various fields, with deep knowledge, rich experience, and broad horizons. This year marks the beginning of the “15th Five-Year Plan”. I hope everyone will continue to care and support the work of the government, perform their duties with due diligence, pioneer and innovate, and put forward more valuable and valuable insights. I hope all the counselors will be based on the overall situation and take a long-term perspective, keep abreast of the major propositions of Shanghai's economic and social development during the “15th Five-Year Plan” period, strengthen forward-looking strategic research, and better serve scientific decision-making. I hope all the counselors will focus on the major strategic tasks of serving the country, further deepen their understanding of the rules, strengthen follow-up research, pay more attention to hot and difficult issues in practice, and better promote reform and development. I hope all the counselors will go deep into the grassroots level, listen to the voices of the people, play a good role as a bridge and link, better help the government check people's feelings, listen to the voices of the people, and gather people's wisdom, reflect the concerns of the masses in a timely manner, and better forge social consensus. The municipal government will continue to support the counselors in carrying out their work, strive to create better conditions for all counselors to perform their duties with due diligence, listen carefully to everyone's opinions and suggestions, and make concerted efforts to complete all tasks.
