Definition
力求 (lì qiú) means 'to strive to' and emphasizes making every effort toward a specific goal or result, often used with a verb phrase (e.g., 力求做到). It is more focused on the objective than 尽力 (jìn lì, 'do one's best'), which is about general effort, and less forceful than 力争 (lì zhēng, 'strive for'), which can imply contention.
verb
to strive toto make every effort (to achieve something)
