At the beginning of the new year, Vientiane is renewed. On March 4, the Second Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) opened in Beijing. More than 2,100 members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) from 34 sectors gathered together to discuss national affairs and offer suggestions and suggestions for promoting Chinese-style modernization. We would like to express our warm congratulations on the convening of the conference!
The historical coordinates are engraved with the footprints of struggle, witnessing the solid steps taken by building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. 2023 is the first year for the full implementation of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. In the face of the extremely complex international environment and the arduous and arduous tasks of reform, development and stability, the people of all ethnic groups in the whole country with Comrade Zheng as the core have united and led the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country to withstand external pressure, overcome internal difficulties, adhere to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, comprehensively deepen reform and opening up, make every effort to promote economic recovery, and successfully complete the main goals and tasks of economic and social development throughout the year, and have achieved hard-won and exciting results. Over the past year, the CPPCC has conscientiously implemented the CPC's decision-making and deployment, given full play to the role of special consultative bodies, focused on the central work and carried out in-depth investigation and research, consultation and discussion, and democratic supervision, making new contributions to the development of the cause of the party and the country.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The practice of the past 75 years has proved that the CPPCC is a great achievement of the CPC in integrating the Marxist-Leninist theory of the united front, the theory of political parties, and the theory of democratic politics with China's reality, and is a great creation in the political system carried out by the CPC under the leadership of various democratic parties, personages without party affiliation, mass organizations, and people of all ethnic groups and all walks of life. As an organization of the united front, an institution of cooperation and political consultation, and an important form of people's democracy, the CPPCC is an important part of the national governance system and an institutional arrangement with Chinese characteristics. At the new historical starting point, if we uphold the CPPCC system and the development of the CPPCC cause, and persist in the organic combination of the party's leadership, the united front, and consultative democracy, we will certainly be able to continuously open up a new situation in the work of the CPPCC in the new era and jointly write a glorious chapter in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
**The general secretary stressed that "comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization is the central task of the party and the country in the new era and new journey". Forging ahead along the broad road of Chinese-style modernization, we know that the future is bright, but the road under our feet will not be a smooth one, and we will inevitably encounter all kinds of predictable and unpredictable risks and challenges, difficulties and even stormy waves. Only by giving full play to the political advantages of the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the institutional advantages of socialism with Chinese characteristics, mobilizing all the positive factors that can be mobilized, uniting all the forces that can be united, and thinking and working together can we successfully advance the historical cause of building a strong country and rejuvenating the nation. On the road ahead, as long as we unite into "a piece of hard steel" under the banner of the party, draw the largest concentric circles for the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation, gather strength with unity, and forge a great cause with struggle, no wind and waves can shake our iron will, and no difficulties can stop our sonorous steps, and the giant ship of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will definitely be able to ride the wind and waves and sail away.
Consultative democracy is an important institutional design for the Party to lead the people to effectively govern the country and ensure that the people are the masters of the country, and the CPPCC is an important channel and special consultative body for socialist consultative democracy. Unswervingly adhere to the overall leadership of the Communist Party of China, adhere to the two-way efforts to promote democracy and enhance unity, make suggestions and build consensus, adhere to the great unity and alliance, implement the CPC's decision-making and deployment and the requirements for the work of the CPPCC, and pool the wisdom and strength of the Chinese people at home and abroad, the CPPCC will be able to better shoulder the mission and tasks of the new era, and gather majestic power for the construction of a strong country and national rejuvenation.
If all forces are combined, ten thousand jun will move, and the hearts of the people will move together. We must unite more closely around the core of the Communist Party of China, fully implement the thought of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishments", enhance the "four consciousnesses", strengthen the "four self-confidences", and achieve the "two safeguards", continue to implement the strategic deployment of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and turn the grand blueprint of Chinese-style modernization into a beautiful reality step by step. Forging ahead on a new journey full of glory and dreams, the CPPCC has a glorious mission and a heavy responsibility. It is hoped that all CPPCC members will bear in mind the "great man of the country", conscientiously perform their duties and responsibilities, make truthful words, seek good strategies, and make practical moves, so as to make new and greater contributions to comprehensively promoting the construction of a strong country and the great cause of national rejuvenation with Chinese-style modernization.
I wish the conference a complete success!
