Chinese Vice Premier Hui Liangyu on Saturday called for more concrete measures in quake relief efforts in response to the instructions of China's top leadership.
Hui, also the head of the State Council's quake-relief headquarters, made the remarks at the sixth plenary meeting of the headquarters.
China's top leadership on earlier Saturday has urged all-out efforts to rescue trapped people in the quake zone in northwestern Qinghai Province at a meeting chaired by Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, and attended by other members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.
Hui stressed a put-people-first principle in the relief work. Efforts to search for and rescue the buried survivors as well as offering medical treatment to the injured people are still the top priorities, Hui said.
The relief work should be carried out in a scientific, orderly, effective and well-organized way, Hui said. There should be no "blind spot" in the rescue work and epidemic prevention, he said.
Military forces, local authorities and the local people should keep in close cooperation in the relief work, he said.
