General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Xi Jinping on Wednesday extended his greetings to representatives of Chinese democratic parties, the All-China Association of Industry and Commerce (ACIF), non-party figures and other members of the united front on the upcoming Spring Festival (Chinese New Year).
Xi Jinping, who is also China's president and chairman of the Central Military Commission, offered his congratulations during a meeting with non-CPC officials at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
In his keynote speech at the event, Xi Jinping noted that 2025 was a truly extraordinary year. He stated that amid profound and complex changes at home and abroad, the CPC Central Committee united and led the entire Party and the Chinese people of all ethnicities, moving forward, overcoming difficulties, and exerting every effort to successfully achieve the key goals and objectives of socioeconomic development.
The Chinese leader pointed out that the results achieved were not achieved easily, but were the result of the CPC's firm leadership and the joint efforts of all the multi-ethnic people of China, including democratic parties, the Communist Party of China (CPC), and non-party figures.
Recalling that 2026 marks the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan, he expressed hope that democratic parties, the APWP and non-party figures will actively fulfill their duties and focus on implementing the decisions and orders of the CPC Central Committee.
Xi Jinping called on them to strengthen political leadership, unite their efforts to work hard together, contribute to the country's development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, strengthen their own development, and demonstrate a new image of parties and forces participating in national governance under socialism with Chinese characteristics.
The Chinese leader also emphasized the need to strictly maintain discipline and improve work style, as well as strengthen and develop a healthy political ecosystem.
The meeting was attended by Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Wang Huning, Director of the General Office of the CPC Central Committee Cai Qi, and Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China Ding Xuexiang (all three are members of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee).
