On March 14 and 15, 1980, Hu Yaobang, the General Secretary of the Central Committee's Secretariat, chaired the First Symposium on Tibet Work (Chinese: 第一次西藏工作座谈会) in Beijing.
[4] To ensure the execution of this task, the Central Government emphasizes the development of guidelines and policies tailored to the specific circumstances in Tibet.
The economic development plan for the entire region should be reassessed, addressing various "left" deviations in policy matters including agricultural and livestock production, foreign trade, economic management systems, reserved land, reserved livestock, and family auxiliary industries, thereby enabling the populace to recuperate, enhance production, and elevate their living standards.
[6] On April 7, the CCP Central Committee released the Notice about the Dissemination of the Summary of the Symposium on Tibet Work (Chinese: 《关于转发〈西藏工作座谈会纪要〉的通知》).
[10][11] In late May 1980, Hu Yaobang and Wan Li directed the heads of pertinent Central Government departments to Tibet for inspection and guidance, aiming to assist in the implementation of the symposium's principles.
