进行 (jìnxíng) is a formal "support" verb: it introduces a serious activity expressed by a two-syllable verb acting as its object. 我们对这个问题进行了讨论 = "we discussed this issue" (literally "carried out a discussion"). It’s NOT used with everyday actions: you say 吃饭, not 进行吃饭. Typical of reports, meetings and news.
