BEIJING, July 9-- Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, on Tuesday urged central Party and state institutions to become exemplary institutions which the CPC Central Committee trusts and people are satisfied with. Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, told a meeting that central Party and state institutions should comprehensively improve the quality of Party building. Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the meeting. Zhao Leji, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC, and Han Zheng, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier, attended the meeting. Central Party and state institutions should set the example and Party building in the institutions should be a priority with the Party practicing strict self-governance in every respect and carrying out self-reform, Xi said, stressing that notable achievements have been made by central Party and state institutions in Party building since the 18th CPC National Congress in late 2017. To take the lead in ensuring "two upholds" is the first and foremost task of enhancing Party building in central Party and state institutions, he said. |
