Hoai expressed her belief that under the sound leadership of General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and President of China Xi Jinping, together with the timely and effective direction of the Chinese government, the solidarity of the Chinese people, and efforts of the CPPCC National Committee, residents in the disaster-hit areas will soon overcome difficulties, address consequences, restore their livelihoods and gradually resume production.
