习近平回信勉励西藏林芝市巴宜区林芝镇嘎拉村全体村民 切实维护好民族团结 创造更加幸福美好的生活

近日，中共中央总书记、国家主席、中央军委主席习近平给西藏林芝市巴宜区林芝镇嘎拉村全体村民回信，对他们提出殷切期望。

习近平在回信中说，看到来信，想起4年前的嘎拉村之行，漂亮整洁的村庄、热情淳朴的村民，给我留下深刻印象。得知这几年村里又有新变化，乡亲们的收入增加了，为你们高兴。

习近平强调，大家在信里说得好，看着北斗星走不迷路，跟着共产党走会幸福。希望你们在党的兴边富民好政策引领下，切实维护好民族团结，创造更加幸福美好的生活，把雪域高原的自然美景保护好，把“桃花村”品牌擦得更亮，为建设繁荣稳固的祖国边疆贡献力量。

2021年7月，习近平总书记在西藏考察时曾到嘎拉村看望慰问村民群众。嘎拉村因山野桃花而闻名。按照习近平总书记指引的方向，该村近年来在发展乡村旅游、壮大集体经济、促进民族团结等方面取得了新的成绩，获得“全国民族团结进步模范集体”等荣誉。今年是西藏自治区成立60周年，嘎拉村全体村民近日给习近平总书记写信，汇报村里发展变化情况，表达感恩奋进、创造更加美好生活的决心。

Xi urges villagers in Xizang to uphold ethnic solidarity

Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged residents of a village in Xizang Autonomous Region to uphold ethnic solidarity and create a happier and better life.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, put forward his expectations in a reply letter to residents of a village in Nyingchi, where he paid a visit in July 2021.

"Learning that the village has undergone new changes in recent years and villagers' incomes have increased, I feel happy for you," Xi wrote in the letter.

Xi also voiced his hope that the villagers will, under the guidance of the Party's policies to develop border areas and improve people's lives, do an even better job in protecting the natural beauty of the plateau region, developing the village's tourist brand, and contributing to building a prosperous and stable border area.

The village is known for its peach blossoms. In recent years, it has made new achievements in developing rural tourism, strengthening the collective economy, and promoting ethnic solidarity.
