He stressed the need to ensure the speed and quality of construction by actively introducing efficient construction and working methods while strictly observing the requirements of design in construction and called on officials in the relevant regions to provide a sure guarantee for normal production by pushing ahead with the work to create raw material bases in a planned manner.
