China's top political advisor on Friday underlined archives work
of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's top political
advisory body.
Chairman of the CPPCC National Committee Jia Qinglin said
initiated by former Premier Zhou Enlai, the archives work of the
CPPCC has witnessed and enshrined many historical moments in which
non-communist parties have held close cooperation with the
Communist Party of China (CPC).
Jia made the remarks in a meeting held on Friday to call for
studying President Hu Jintao's report to the 17th CPC National
Congress among officials in charge of archives work of the
CPPCC.
Jia urged the officials to collect more valuable historical
archives for advisory bodies at all levels especially the archives
of CPPCC members' activities after the foundation of the People's
Republic of China in 1949.
The top political advisor stressed that advisory bodies at all
levels should regard archives work as a fundamental job and make
long-term plans for the development of the work.
