The meeting called for a systematic study and full grasp of the guiding principles contained in these instructions, directing that they be deeply implemented in all areas and at every stage of China Minmetals' reform, development, and Party building.

The meeting noted that during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, in the face of a complex, severe domestic and international landscape as well as numerous risks and challenges, China Minmetals has upheld the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, implemented the new development philosophy, and promoted high-quality development. As a result, all its work has achieved remarkable results, providing a solid foundation for formulating the planning set for the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

The meeting called for a profound understanding of the great significance of formulating the planning set for the 15th Five-Year Plan period, positioning it as a crucial measure for implementing the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and as a vital lever for navigating risks and challenges to seize the development initiative. It was stressed that we must anchor on the theme of high-quality development, map out the blueprint for industrial planning in a science-based way, and focus on tackling key priorities to ensure that the plan's formulation is completed with high quality and efficiency. The meeting emphasized the need for strategic alignment and systematic integration, establishing and improving China Minmetals' "1+N+X" three-tiered planning system to strengthen horizontal coordination and vertical alignment among the master plan, industrial plans, corporate plans, and special plans. It was also required that the plan highlight quantifiable targets and operational feasibility, ensuring that while being guided by high ambitions, it is supported by implementable key tasks and major projects. Furthermore, the meeting called for strengthened resource allocation and support measures, including a coordinated study of supporting policies, assessment & incentive mechanisms, and organizational safeguards. Finally, it was mandated to improve the plan's implementation and dynamic evaluation mechanism, using the "5-3-1" system (Five-Year Plan, Three-Year Rolling Plan, One-Year Plan) to enhance tracking, monitoring, supervision, and assessment of execution, and to make timely optimizations and adjustments in response to changes in the internal and external environment.
