Public security organs urged to play bigger role in building a safe China

 A senior official has called on the country's public security staff to study, understand and implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress.

Guo Shengkun, head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks Wednesday at a meeting of public security officials studying the meaning of the congress in Beijing.

Guo said the country's public security workers should take Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the guide for work, to open up a new situation and write down a new chapter in the public security work.

He said public security officers needed to combine theory with practice to contribute more to building a safe China with rule of law.

Guo also stressed that public security staff must adhere to the leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi at the core.

The 19th CPC National Congress was concluded on Oct. 24.
