Beijing: The Xinjiang Uighur autonomous region will step up border control measures this year to create a “Great Wall” along its 5,700km border to prevent the penetration of extremism, separatism and terrorism from abroad, the region’s chairman said.
“We will try our best to leave no gaps or blind spots in social security management and ensure the key areas remain absolutely safe,” Shokrat Zakir, the chairman, said as he delivered the government work report during the annual session of the 13th Regional People’s Congress, which kicked off in the capital Urumqi on Monday.
