Liu Qu agreed that there are lots of difficulties in traffic development and railroad construction, such as the increase of the construction cost and more constraints in project approval, land requisition and acquisition, and energy saving and emission reduction. But there also exit the opportunities to maintain the steady and rapid economic development. He hoped that driven by the development of the marine economy demonstration zone, all the departments can strengthen confidence, explore and develop actively and strive to break new ground.

Liu Qi emphasized that departments of all levels should make it their general tone to "advance steadily and then strive for further improvement". An atmosphere of opening cooperation should be formed by actively making joint efforts to overcome difficulties as a whole with high starting point, high-standard construction and high efficiency. The individual responsibility mechanism should be set up where the main body of responsibility is clear and the focus of responsibility is on construction and implementation. The service standard and approval efficiency should be improved, all kinds of services should be optimized, and policy support and coordinating services for transportation enterprises and construction units should be strengthened. Team building, organizational coordination and objective assessment should be strengthened, contribution competitions should be fully developed, and working enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of departments of all levels should be fully encouraged
