The main task is to learn the principles of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and plenary sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Besides, the conference also aims to implement the principles of the Central Economic Work Conference and the requirements of the teleconference on national business work, analyze and judge the current situation of stabilizing foreign investment, and discuss the arrangement of work related to foreign investment utilization throughout the year.
According to the conference, China has made new achievements in stabilizing foreign investment in 2021.

In a word, China achieved a good start of the 14th Five-Year Plan period.
The conference stressed the need to deeply understand the importance of utilizing foreign investment. Foreign-funded enterprises, as important market entities in China, play a unique and crucial role in Chinas economic development. At present, facing the once-in-a-century changes and the raging COVID-19 pandemic, the situation of foreign investment utilization in China has become complex and severe as the international investment pattern is profoundly adjusted. The conference urged efforts to always attach great importance to the work of foreign investment utilization and solve the outstanding problems facing the current work on the basis of considering the overall work situation of the Party and the government.

They need to prioritize stability while pursuing progress in a bid to ensure stable and quality foreign investment utilization.
