Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang said more follow-up efforts should be scientifically made to ensure the Three Gorges' continuing safe operations and to make full use of the project after its preliminary construction is finished on time.
Li made the remarks while chairing the 17th plenary meeting of the Three Gorges Project Construction Committee under the State Council, or the cabinet.
The meeting discussed the examination and acceptance report of the project and the follow-up layouts.
The preliminary design and construction of the Three Gorges were finished on time and the project reflects the good quality of the construction, in general, which worked well in flood control, while having generated more than 400 billion kilowatts of power, according to reports from the meeting.
Also, further efforts should be made to focus on safety supervision, measures to guard against geological disasters and building additional reservoir management systems, according to discussions at the meeting.
It was a complicated effort to manage the Three Gorges project and more efforts must be made to complete various systems and improve management levels, Li said.
Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu also attended the meeting.
More efforts should be made to summarize the Three Gorges' building experience and other projects under construction should strictly follow high standards, Hui said.
