Official Tibet to make good use of every cent from central government
( 2003-09-25 15:19) (Xinhua)
Qiangba Puncog, chairman of the Tibet autonomous regional government, said in
Lhasa Wednesday that Tibet "will make good use of every cent given by the
central government and other provinces and municipalities."
Qiangba Puncog made the remark during his meeting with a group of Russian
journalists from six media organizations.
The official noted that the autonomous regional government attached
importance to the use of capital allocated by the central government and the
assistance given by other provinces and municipalities as the Tibetan people
knew very well that all this money was hard earned.
Since the central government has granted Tibet the maximum preferential
policy and selfless assistance, the local regional government will make good use
of the precious funds for the leap- frogging development of Tibet, he said.
During the Tenth Five-year Plan period (2001-2005), the central government
and all other provinces and municipalities provided Tibet with more than 90
billion yuan (US$10.88 billion).
