In 2018，the first year to further study the spirit of the 19th Party Congress，Anhui has embraced the 40th anniversary of reform and opening-up，actively implemented the five major concepts development，and accelerated the building of modern and beautiful Anhui. In the past year，great achievements have been made in areas such as economy，politics，culture，society and ecological civility，which mainly include：steady development of economic operation，and industrial structural transformation，optimization and upgrading；comprehensive implementation of reforms in administrative organs，and constant boosting of executive capacity of government；steady stride towards the new plateau for inland opening-up，and prominent role as an important role in the Belt and Road Initiative；active involvement in the process of the Yangtze River Delta Integration，and full display of its backstage support and bridge functions；strong momentum in the nurture and innovation of Three Priorities and One Innovation，and new competitive edge brought by artificial intelligence；joint progress in cultural undertakings and industries，and increasingly positive state of people’s spiritual civilization；strong momentum in coordinated rural-urban development，and precision in its role as a regional model；poverty alleviation empowered by popular livelihood programs，and the increasingly diverse functions of basic public services；solid work in the Four Send’s and One Serve and Double Thousand projects，and Anhui Speed set by private enterprises；conspicuous achievements in ecology-first green strategies，and prototype of Anhui model for ecological civility. However，challenges still exist in the high-quality development of Anhui，mainly due to：persistent pressure from economic downturn，and undesirable quality and performance；weakness in sci-tech innovation capacities，and relative inadequacy in production，study and research outcomes；daunting tasks in environmental cleanup，and occasional deficiencies in accountability and protection；high cost for corporate operation，and lack of potential for private investment；challenging tasks in poverty alleviation，and overall low level of per capita disposable income；immature system of external opening-up，and lack of depth in international exchange and cooperation；and dilemmas of imbalanced and inadequate development，and differences in benefit sharing of social development. To address those problems，efforts should be made to build a smart system of modern economy，coordinate rural-urban integration and regional development，steadily promote green ecological reforms，emphasize both poverty alleviation and people’s livelihood，strive to become an innovative leader in the Yangtze River Delta Integration，establish a new pattern of internal and external comprehensive opening-up，and promote the co-governance of morality and law to ensure peace in Anhui，all discussed in the report as suggestions and recommendations for Anhui to achieve high-quality modern development.
