During their third meeting, they talked about the villagers' life, the growth of crops and a new rural medicare system for the farmers.

They also talked about the July 5 riot taking place in the regional capital Urumqi which killed nearly 200 people, mostly ethnic Han.

"The 'three forces' (separatism, terrorism and extremism) at home and abroad who incited the riots wanted to damage the brotherhood between the Uygurs and the Hans," said Wen. "And it was heartrending to see our people losing lives and properties in the riots."

"All of us felt grieved, and the bad guys were not willing to see the fact that we are living a happy life," Hashim Dawut responded.

"In Xinjiang, Uygurs and Hans are inseparable, and all the ethnic groups are inseparable, because we are a family," Wen said.

"And we should cherish the stability and development which did not come easy," he added.

"I will bring your words home," said Hashim Dawut.
