Chinese President
Hu Jintao, also the Communist Party of China
(CPC) Central Committee general secretary, has urged to uphold the
spirit of reform and innovation in building the Party in the new
era.
Addressing a workshop attended by delegates from the Party's
Organization Department in Beijing on Monday, Hu urged all members
to stick to the direction of reform and establish a system helpful
to innovation.
Hu said the 17th CPC National Congress held in October called
for strengthened governance capability of the Party to lead Chinese
to social prosperity in the new era.
To do so, the Party should keep innovating the Party's theories
and improving the Party's systems, said Hu, also the Central
Military Commission chairman.
He urged all members to do their best to promote inner-Party
democracy as the important content and condition to guarantee
innovation within the Party.
Inner-Party democracy is key to stimulating innovation among
Party members, and a more democratic system within the Party will
invite more people to contribute their wisdom to our Party
building, Hu said.
Present at the workshop were Xi Jinping and He Guoqiang, both Standing Committee of the CPC
Central Committee Political Bureau members.
Xi, who presided over the meeting, said Hu's speech was
important as it stood on a strategic height concerning the
long-term development of the Party and the nation. He called for
seriously studying, understanding and implementing Hu's
instructions.
