THE Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will see its development further boosted as Shanghai will set aside some 1.55 billion yuan (US$237 million) this year for more than 100 projects in the northwest Chinese region.
Information from the headquarters responsible for affairs involving Shanghai aiding Xinjiang said the supporting projects, 111 in all, would be in the Kashi prefecture in western Xinjiang.
These projects will largely have a bearing on the livelihood of the people, ranging from housing, education and health care, to scientific and technological popularization.
China's central government mobilized in March 2010 new support packages from 19 provincial or municipal governments to help boost Xinjiang's economic growth.
Shanghai, which has been assigned to aid development in Kashi, decided to intensify aid first in Kashi's four counties of Shache, Zepu, Yecheng and Bachu, by striving to solve current and long-term problems stagnating progress in the four areas.
"We hope with our aid, the livelihood of the local residents in concerned areas of Xinjiang will be improved, and these areas will become attractive to outside investors and talents," said a spokesman for the headquarters responsible for affairs involving Shanghai aiding Xinjiang.
Shanghai would also work to turn Shache County into a center of southern Kashi, while helping Zepu achieve growth, and Yecheng and Bachu develop industries in accordance with local conditions in the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) period, he said.
