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.
