1. Continue to advance the construction of the World Meteorological Sub-center with high quality to ensure that the center is ready for use before the international training sessions in the fall of this year.

2. Implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party and the instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on meteorological work. According to the positioning of "world-class, China-leading, and Bay Area-characteristic," conduct extensive research and planning, and ensure that the design of the Smart Meteorological Science Popularization Exhibition Hall is completed. This exhibition hall will serve as a window to showcase the results of the World Meteorological Center (Beijing) in implementing the "Global Monitoring, Global Forecasting, and Global Service" strategy along the Belt and Road, reflecting the grandeur of a great power in the new era.
