(11/05/2001)
Construction on a steam-pressing brick factory costing 23 million
yuan to be funded by Jilin Province commenced recently in this capital
city of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.
To date, construction has started on 26, or more than one third,of
the 71 projects to be built in Tibet with assistance from other
parts of China, a regional government official said.
The projects were decided according to a decision made at the fourth
meeting of the central government in June this year on boosting
development in Tibet.
Statistics show that two road projects built in Lhasa have beencompleted.
Hunan and Hubei provinces provided 44 million yuan for highway projects
in the Shannan Prefecture of Tibet, making up 70 percent of the
planned amount. The Ngari Prefecture has signed agreements with
Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Hebei and Shaanxi on projects
to be built with their aid.
