The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
Central Committee held a meeting Wednesday on how to strengthen and
keep improving the work of the CPPCC, the top political advisory
body.
The meeting, chaired by Hu
Jintao, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, said it
is imperative to reinforce the work of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and give full play to its
role so as to "further improve CPC's governing capability, develop
socialist democracy, build a socialist harmonious society and push
forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese
characteristics."
In doing the work of the CPPCC well, it is favorable to unite
all the forces that can be united with to the maximum, and
consolidate and expand the broadest patriotic united front, and it
is conducive to persevere in and further improve the multi-party
cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the
CPC and strengthen the CPC's unity and cooperation with various
non-Communist parties and democratic personages without any party
affiliations.
The meeting calls on the CPPCC to make "promoting development"
its primary task and give a better scope to its role in political
consultations, actively press ahead with democratic supervision and
participation in deliberation and administration of state affairs
and do a good, effective job in its self-development.
Meanwhile, the meeting inspired Party organizations at various
levels to fully realize the importance of the CPPCC work and help
the CPPCC to make new progress in its work.
