BEIJING, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao Monday
called for closer cooperation with the country's eight non-Communist
parties and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC)
as they just finished leadership reshuffle in the past several
weeks.
Hu, in his capacity as General Secretary of the Central Committee of
Communist Party of China (CPC), the ruling party, met with the newly
elected leaders of the eight political parties and the ACFIC,
representing the business community in China.
"We meet here today to discuss the cooperation between you and the
CPC, the friendship among us and the future of the country and
people," Hu said. Retired leaders of the political parties and the
ACFIC were also present at the meeting.
The CPC expects the eight parties to improve their capability in the
participation in the country's political affairs and in supervising
the ruling party, Hu said. And ACFIC is urged by President Hu to
promote the private sector in the country and better lead the
private businessmen.
"We hope the non-Communist parties and ACFIC will stick to the
socialism with Chinese characteristics and thus lay a firm political
foundation for closer cooperation with the CPC," Hu said.
They are urged to educate their members on the Scientific Outlook on
Development put forth by the CPC National Congress in October and
unite them to work for building a moderately prosperous society in
all respects, Hu said.
Hu also called on the political parties to conduct smooth transition
so as to better play their roles in political and social affairs.
In the past five years, China's multi-party cooperation and
political consultation under the leadership of the CPC has made
great progress, Hu said, with efforts made to improve the mechanism
to embody those parties' role as the advisor, supervisor and
participant in state affairs.
The eight political parties are the Revolutionary Committee of the
Chinese Kuomintang, China Democratic League, China National
Democratic Construction Association, China Association for Promoting
Democracy, Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party, China Zhi
Gong Dang, Jiu San Society and Taiwan Democratic Self-Government
League.
The leaders of the eight parties and ACFIC expressed their will to
hold on to the fine tradition of cooperation with the CPC, actively
exercise their duty and contribute to the country's development.
Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese
People's Political Consultative Conference, presided over Monday's
meeting.
