Wang also hoped Yunnan could earnestly implement the Party's fundamental policies on ethnic affairs and religious affairs, strengthen support for the development of ethnic groups with smaller populations and the directly-entering-socialism ethnic groups, and strive to build itself into an example for ethnic harmony and progress. 

Chen Hao, Party chief of Yunnan province and head of the delegation, chaired the meeting. Deputy heads --Ruan Chengfa, Zong Guoying, and He Duanqi-- joined the deliberation.
