In the devastated Gyegu Township, Jia praised rescuers from the army and police forces as the "main force" of the rescue work and encouraged them to keep on striving for new merits in quake relief.
"As the people's soldiers, you showed great valor and heroism in rescuing quake survivors with outstanding performance," he said.
In a local hospital of Xining, Jia recognized medical workers' efforts in treating quake survivors and stressed the importance of preventing epidemics in the quake zone.
