Non-communist party convenes plenary session

Xinhua, December 16, 2016 Adjust font size:

China National Democratic Construction Association (CNDCA), one of China's non-communist political parties, opened the fifth plenary session of its 10th Central Committee on Friday.

When summarizing its work in 2016, Chen Changzhi, CNDCA chairman, said the party had increased its awareness of the role of social services, prioritizing the tasks of precision-poverty relief and democratic supervision of poverty alleviation measures.

Chen added that the party had also improved its organizational structure this year.

The CNDCA is one of the country's eight non-communist parties. Its 11th national congress will be held next year, according to Chen.

Chen stressed that the party should hold high the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics and play a greater role in realizing the country's "two centenary goals" and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The two centenary goals are the building of an all-round moderately prosperous society by the CPC's centenary in 2021; and creating a prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious country by the centenary of the People's Republic of China in 2049.

Founded in 1945, CNDCA members are mainly individuals in economic circles.

Under China's multi-party cooperation system, non-communist parties participate in state affairs under the leadership of the CPC.

The CPC and non-communist parties work together and supervise one another. Endit
