Chinese Vice President Zeng Qinghong said on Sunday that the
Communist Party of China (CPC) will work as always closely with
other parties in leading the country to build up a well-off
society.
Addressing a celebration marking the 80th founding anniversary
of the China Zhi Gong Party, Zeng described the party as CPC's
close ally and expressed his appreciation of the party's great
contributions to the reunification and rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation.
He reiterates the commitment to continuing to consolidate and
develop the patriotic united front, improve the system of
multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the
leadership of CPC and implement the basic principle of working with
democratic parties, which features long-term coexistence, mutual
supervision, treating each other with all sincerity and sharing
weal or woe.
He urged the China Zhi Gong Party to mobilize overseas Chinese
and those who return to China to offer more suggestions on building
up a harmonious society, fight against the activities attempting to
make Taiwan secede from China and promote the friendship between
Chinese people and other peoples.
Luo Haocai, chairman of the China Zhi Gong Party Central
Committee, called on the party members to work together to promote
national reunification and world peace and common development.
The China Zhi Gong Party, one of nine democratic parties in
China, was founded in 1925 in San Francisco, United States. Its
