2019年7月，中共中央總書記、國家主席、中央軍委主席習(xí)近平在內(nèi)蒙古自治區(qū)考察調(diào)研時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)，要堅(jiān)持和完善民族區(qū)域自治制度，促進(jìn)民族團(tuán)結(jié)融合，促進(jìn)各民族像石榴籽一樣緊緊抱在一起。
President Xi Jinping called for more efforts to uphold and improve the system of regional ethnic autonomy, promote ethnic unity so that all ethnic groups could be together "like seeds of a pomegranate". Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks during an inspection tour to north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region last month.

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)】

習(xí)近平總書記頻繁提到“石榴籽”的背后，是對(duì)民族問題的始終關(guān)注，是對(duì)做好民族工作的一貫重視。做好民族工作，有重要的現(xiàn)實(shí)意義和深遠(yuǎn)的歷史意義。回溯歷史，我國各族人民同呼吸、共命運(yùn)、心連心的奮斗歷程是中華民族強(qiáng)大凝聚力和非凡創(chuàng)造力的重要源泉。展望未來，處理好民族問題、做好民族工作，是關(guān)系祖國統(tǒng)一和邊疆鞏固的大事，是關(guān)系民族團(tuán)結(jié)和社會(huì)穩(wěn)定的大事，是關(guān)系國家長治久安和中華民族繁榮昌盛的大事。一顆顆珍珠瑪瑙樣的石榴籽，密密匝匝、緊緊實(shí)實(shí)地簇?fù)碓谝黄?，正如我?6個(gè)民族組成的大家庭，心往一處想、勁往一處使，共同奔向民族復(fù)興的美好明天。
