Governor Mao noted that, since the “13th Five-Year Plan” period, HAAS has adhered to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and combined it with Hunan's actual work of “agriculture, rural areas, and farmers”. It has achieved significant results in the technological innovation of the seed industry, serving the development of "agriculture, rural areas, and farmers", the construction of an innovation platform, and foreign scientific and technological exchanges. It has made important contributions to the development of agricultural modernization in Hunan Province.
He emphasized that, based on a new stage of development and embarking on a new journey, HAAS must implement the spirit of the important speeches delivered by General Secretary Xi Jinping at the Conference of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the 10th National Congress of the China Association for Science and Technology. It should bravely climb the sci-tech summit of the seed industry, and provide agricultural science and technology support for the implementation of the Three Highlands and Four New Missions Strategy. We must assume the political responsibility for food security, support the building of a seed industry innovation highland, serve the implementation of rural revitalization strategy, and create a first-class scientific and technological innovation ecology, he added.
