Senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official Sun Chunlan on Tuesday called on non-communist parties to help the CPC and the government win the war against poverty.
Sun, head of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks at a meeting on supervision of non-communist parties' central committees in poverty alleviation work.
"The process of supervision should be turned into a process of jointly detecting, studying and solving problems, as well as pushing for policy execution," Sun said.
It is of great significance for non-communist parties' central committees to supervise poverty relief, as this shows the importance that the CPC Central Committee attaches to multi-party cooperation and is also a useful attempt to give better play to non-communist parties' supervisory roles, according to Sun.
China has eight non-communist political parties that participate in state affairs under the leadership of the CPC. Under the multi-party cooperation system, the CPC and non-communist parties work together and supervise each other.
Each of the eight parties has been tasked with supervising poverty relief work in a provincial-level region in central and western China.
