新華社北京6月3日電 在中國工程院建院30週年之際，中共中央總書記、國家主席、中央軍委主席習近平發來賀信，代表黨中央致以熱烈祝賀，向全院院士和廣大工程科技工作者致以誠摯問候。

習近平在賀信中指出，30年來，在黨的堅強領導下，中國工程院團結凝聚院士和廣大工程科技工作者，大力推動工程科技發展，不斷攻克科技難關，建設大國工程，鑄造國之重器，為推動我國工程科技創新進步、促進經濟社會高品質發展作出了重要貢獻。

習近平強調，工程科技是推動人類社會發展的重要引擎。希望中國工程院在新的起點上，發揮國家戰略科技力量作用，弘揚科學家精神，引領工程科技創新，加快突破關鍵核心技術，強化國家高端智庫職能，為實現高水準科技自立自強、建設世界科技強國作出新的更大貢獻。

3日上午，中國工程院在京舉行“踐行工程科技使命 推進科技強國建設”院士座談會。中共中央政治局常委、國務院副總理丁薛祥出席會議，宣讀習近平賀信並講話。

丁薛祥在講話中指出，中國工程院成立30年來，堅決貫徹黨中央和國務院決策部署，大力推動工程科技發展，匯聚一流創新人才、産出一流科技成果、貢獻一流諮詢建議、打造一流學術平臺，在國家發展進步中發揮了重要作用。

丁薛祥強調，在新時代新征程上，中國工程院要牢記建院初心、傳承光榮傳統，在學習貫徹習近平總書記重要指示精神、為高水準科技自立自強而奮鬥的進程中爭當排頭兵。要當國家戰略科技力量的排頭兵，牢牢把握新一輪科技革命和産業變革的戰略機遇，奮力搶佔科技制高點。要當工程科技創新的排頭兵，解決好重大工程科技問題，推進科技創新成果産業化應用，更好服務新質生産力發展。要當突破關鍵核心技術的排頭兵，從國家急迫需要和長遠需求出發，加強“卡脖子”技術攻關，力爭在重要領域取得更多原創性突破。要當國家高端智庫建設的排頭兵，緊緊圍繞具有戰略性方向性全局性的重大問題，加強前瞻性、針對性、儲備性戰略研究，支撐黨和國家決策。丁薛祥希望廣大工程院院士帶頭大力弘揚科學家精神，把人生理想融入國家和民族的事業中，深懷愛國之心、秉持報國之志、勇攀科技高峰，不負黨和人民的殷切期望。

座談會上，中國工程院負責人和院士代表作了發言。

中國工程院成立於1994年6月3日。30年來，中國工程院牢記中國工程科技界最高學術機構職責使命，聚力科技創新、匯聚領軍人才、建設高端智庫、堅持學術引領，取得了一系列重大成果。

Xi sends congratulatory letter on 30th anniversary of Chinese Academy of Engineering

BEIJING, June 3 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called on the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) to play its role as a national strategic sci-tech force and make new contributions to the country's great self-reliance and strength in science and technology.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks in a congratulatory letter sent to the CAE on the 30th anniversary of its founding.

Xi extended warm congratulations and sincere greetings to academicians of the CAE and other engineering technology workers on behalf of the CPC Central Committee.

Xi said that over the past 30 years, the CAE, under the strong leadership of the Party, has united academicians and engineering technology workers to promote the development of engineering technology, overcome sci-tech difficulties and build major national projects and equipment, thus making important contributions to promoting China's innovation and progress in engineering technology as well as high-quality economic and social development.

Xi emphasized that engineering technology is an important engine driving the development of human society. He expressed the hope that the CAE, at a new starting point, will play its role as a national strategic sci-tech force, lead the innovation of engineering technology, accelerate breakthroughs in key and core technologies, and strengthen its function as a high-end national think tank.

Xi also called on the CAE to make more contributions to realizing the country's great sci-tech self-reliance and strength and building a strong country in science and technology.

The CAE held an academician symposium on Monday in Beijing. At the symposium, Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang read out the congratulatory letter from Xi before delivering a speech.

Ding, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, called on the CAE to firmly grasp the strategic opportunities of the new round of sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation, solve major engineering technology problems, promote the industrial application of sci-tech innovations, and better serve the development of new quality productive forces.

He urged the CAE to strengthen the research on "bottleneck" technologies and strive to make more breakthroughs in key fields in accordance with the country's urgent needs and long-term requirements.

Ding also called for strengthening forward-looking and targeted strategic research to support the decision-making of the central authorities.

The CAE was founded on June 3, 1994. ■
