Xi Jinping responds to volunteers participating in an environmental project in the Danjiangkou reservoir area in Shiyan Province

On the occasion of the Second National Ecology Day, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the People's Republic of China and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, wrote a letter to the environmental protection volunteers in the Danjiangkou Reservoir area in Shiyan, Hubei Province, appreciating their efforts and sincerely greeting the environmental protection workers and volunteers across the country.

Over the past ten years, many people in the Danjiangkou reservoir area have joined the volunteer environmental protection team in the region, which has contributed to the improvement of the environment. Xi Jinping appreciated these efforts.

In the letter, Xi Jinping expressed his hope that the volunteers would contribute to the modern and harmonious coexistence of man and nature.

The Danjiangkou Reservoir is the water source for China's South-to-North Water Transportation Project. Xi Jinping issued important instructions when the first phase of this project began delivering water in 2014.

Over the past ten years, efforts to protect the water quality of the Danjiangkou Reservoir have intensified with the active participation of officials and residents, including environmental volunteers. Recently, the volunteers wrote a report to President Xi Jinping about their efforts and expressed their firm commitment to protecting the reservoir's water quality. (Z.H.)
