                        and prevention mechanism against corruption. 
                        
                           After transferring greetings from the 
                        President of NHRI Mr. Zhang Jianyun to all HRC staff, 
                        Vice President Mr. Chen Shengshui pointed out that, under 
                        the leadership of Ms. Cheng Xialei and other members, 
                        HRC had made enormous achievements: its technological 
                        innovativeness had been greatly enhanced and its competitiveness 
                        immensely strengthened; its ability to provide technical 
                        support to the industrial development had been vigorously 
                        improved, so had the economic strength, staff income and 
                        ability to maintain sustainable development. But what 
                        needed to be realized while celebrating the achievements 
                        were two difficulties and challenges: firstly, the problem 
                        of HRC's mechanism which, with the joint efforts of Ministry 
                        of Water Resources, NHRI and HRC, had seen progress but 
                        was not yet solved, resulting in unsmooth flow of financial 
                        support; secondly, with comparatively monotonous specialty 
                        and a lack of first-class human resources on scientific 
                        researches and management, HRC was still weak in technological 
                        and economic strength, which resulted in vulnerability 
                        in face of crisis.
                        
                           Mr. Chen put forward six requirements 
                        for HRC's future development: first of all, to further 
                        strengthen the innovativeness on science and technology 
                        by cultivating talents in good command of industrial demand 
                        and by applying for nation-level projects; second, to 
                        put on stress on the follow-up work of research achievements, 
                        to value award application and publicity of research achievements; 
                        third, to stress domestic market while expanding the international 
                        market; fourth, to exploit and expand new areas for economic 
                        growth; fifth, strive to elevate Small Hydropower magazine 
                        from ordinary journal to core journal; sixth, to enhance 
                        party construction. All in all, while making efforts to 
                        achieve economic development, we must remain prudent and 
                        cautious to maintain HRC' good reputation. 
                         All staff members of HRC attended the 
                        meeting. (2011-01-28)
