CPC Central Committee adopts state leadership candidates(3)

The communique also urged efforts to promote sustainable and healthy economic development and to achieve practical progress in improving people's livelihoods.

The foremost political task of the CPC and the country is to continue to study, promote and implement the essence of the 18th CPC National Congress held last November so as to complete tasks assigned by the congress, the communique said.

Leading officials should play an exemplary role in grasping the congress's spirit, it said, adding that the key to deepening the campaign will be to improve CPC members' work style.

CPC members should also conduct themselves in a down-to-earth manner and use the spirit of the congress to guide their daily work and solve practical problems, according to the communique.

The document said the CPC will deepen reform and opening up by respecting the pioneering spirit of the people and further studying top-level design and overall planning for comprehensive systematic reforms.

Systematic reforms in economic, political, cultural, social and ecological aspects should be conducted in a coordinated way and innovation in theories, institutions, technology and culture should also be connected to build an efficient and scientific policy system, it said.

It is also necessary to strengthen party-building by improving the CPC's abilities to self-purify, self-improve and self-innovate so as to carry out the principle of the CPC administrating itself with strict discipline.

The CPC should strengthen its ideology and organization, as well as make efforts to improve its work style and fight corruption. The CPC should not try to avoid obvious contradictions and problems and should not cover up its errors, the document said.

CPC organs at all levels should make efforts to implement policies and regulations that can improve the CPC's work style, it said.

The document called on the CPC and people of all ethnic groups to unite and develop socialism with Chinese characteristics under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping as its general secretary.
