Adhere to the "five sentences" basic principle of dealing with religious issues. First, we must build a lifeline of national unity. In Xinjiang, the core issue of politics is to take a clear-cut stand against ethnic division and unswervingly safeguard the unity of the motherland and ethnic unity. We must deeply realize that unity and stability are blessings, while division and turmoil are disasters.

National unity is like air and sunshine. It benefits without realizing it, but it is difficult to survive if it is lost. Cadres and masses of all ethnic groups must cherish national unity as much as they cherish their own eyes, and cherish national unity as much as their own lives. We must consciously cherish the great opportunity that Xinjiang has experienced in accelerating development since the reform and opening up, consciously resist words and deeds that distort Xinjiang's history, and unswervingly fight against the separatist activities of the "three evil forces".

We must continuously strengthen our awareness of the rule of law and resolutely safeguard the dignity of national laws. The country cannot live without governance, and the people cannot live without it. All organizations and individuals must strictly abide by the law. Any behavior that tramples on national laws, disrupts social order, or infringes on people's lives and property will be punished by law.

We must firmly grasp the overall goal of social stability and long-term peace and order in Xinjiang. The work in Xinjiang is important and urgent and cannot wait; the Xinjiang issue is long-term and complex and cannot be rushed. Therefore, we must establish mental preparations and work preparations for long-term battles, strengthen confidence, increase work intensity, and work steadily to overcome the idea of ??quick victory.

We should not only concentrate our efforts on solving outstanding problems, but also do a thorough job of root cause treatment, and solve various deep-seated contradictions and problems one by one, laying a solid foundation for social stability and long-term peace and order in Xinjiang.
