Ethnic minority officials begin central unit program

Xinhua, March 28, 2016 Adjust font size:

An annual program to give officials from ethnic minorities and underdeveloped western regions experience of working at central departments began on Monday.

A total of 234 officials will attend a three-day training course on ethnic work and national security; the country's development plan for the 2016-2020 period; innovation in science and technology; and anti-corruption work, among other subjects.

Following the course, they will be despatched across 87 central Communist Party of China (CPC) and government departments, and major state-owned enterprises for a year.

The course was run by the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee and the State Ethnic Affairs Commission.

Since it began in 1990, the program has seen more than 8,500 ethnic minority and western region officials experience the workings of central departments. Endi
