2018年3月20日，十三屆全國人大一次會議閉幕會上，習(xí)近平發(fā)表重要講話，他提出：

我們要以更大的力度、更實的措施全面深化改革、擴大對外開放，貫徹新發(fā)展理念，推動經(jīng)濟高質(zhì)量發(fā)展，建設(shè)現(xiàn)代化經(jīng)濟體系，不斷增強我國經(jīng)濟實力、科技實力、綜合國力，讓社會主義市場經(jīng)濟的活力更加充分地展示出來。
We will devote more energy and take more concrete measures in deepening reform in all areas, expanding opening up, applying a new vision of development, promoting high-quality economic development and developing a modernized economy to increase China's economic and technological strength, and composite national strength, so as to better demonstrate the vitality of the socialist market economy.

之后這一年間，習(xí)近平在多個場合都提到“高質(zhì)量發(fā)展”，并作出重要部署，我們帶大家一起回顧。

防范化解金融風(fēng)險，事關(guān)國家安全、發(fā)展全局、人民財產(chǎn)安全，是實現(xiàn)高質(zhì)量發(fā)展必須跨越的重大關(guān)口。
Preventing and defusing financial risks is relevant to national security, overall development, and the security of people's property, and is a key threshold that the country must cross to achieve high-quality growth.
——2018年4月2日，主持召開中央財經(jīng)委員會第一次會議并講話

實踐證明，過去40年中國經(jīng)濟發(fā)展是在開放條件下取得的，未來中國經(jīng)濟實現(xiàn)高質(zhì)量發(fā)展也必須在更加開放條件下進行。
What has happened proves that opening-up was key to China’s economic growth over the past 40 years and in the same vein, high-quality development of China’s economy in the future can only be achieved with greater openness.
