CGTN: Striding on new journey, CPC unveils agenda of 20th National Congress

Published

on

BEIJING, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) comes as China is striding forward on a new journey to build a modern socialist country in all respects.

 

The CPC on Saturday unveiled the key agenda of its 20th National Congress, saying all preparations had been completed for the congress, which will open at 10 a.m. (local time) on Sunday in Beijing.

The congress will envision the two stages toward building a great modern socialist country in all respects and set out strategic tasks and major measures for the next five years, Sun Yeli, spokesperson for the congress, told a news conference on Saturday afternoon.

According to the two-step strategic plan, socialist modernization will be basically realized from 2020 to 2035. From 2035 to the mid-21st century, China will become a great modern socialist country, prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful.

“No matter how the world changes, China will be unswerving in its determination and resolve to open itself up,” said Sun, adding that the country will steadfastly implement a wider, broader and deeper opening-up to the outside world.

Representing more than 96 million CPC members and over 4.9 million primary-level Party organizations, a total of 2,296 delegates, whose qualifications had been confirmed as valid, will attend the week-long congress.

Among the delegates, 771 are working on the frontline, accounting for 33.6 percent of the total. There are 619 female delegates, or 27 percent of the total, an increase of 2.8 percentage points compared with the figure of the 19th CPC National Congress five years ago.

Agenda set

The agenda of the 20th CPC National Congress was approved at a preparatory meeting presided over by Xi Jinping on Saturday afternoon.

Delegates are expected to hear and review a report of the 19th CPC Central Committee, examine a work report of the 19th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), deliberate and adopt an amendment to the CPC Constitution, and elect the 20th CPC Central Committee and the 20th CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, according to the agenda.

During the preparatory meeting, participants also approved a list of 243 members of the presidium of the congress, and that Wang Huning will serve as secretary-general of the congress.

Reviewing report by 19th CPC Central Committee

According to Sun, one of the most important items on the agenda will be the hearing and reviewing of the report submitted by the 19th CPC Central Committee.

Opinions of more than 4,700 people were collected on the draft report, he said.

Xi, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, also held five symposiums to hear the opinions and suggestions of people from various sectors, including non-CPC personages, on the draft report, said the spokesperson.

The report, along with a CCDI work report and an amendment to the Party Constitution, will be submitted for deliberation at the upcoming congress.

Amending Party Constitution

The amendment to the CPC Constitution at the upcoming congress will incorporate the major theoretical views and strategic thinking to be established in the report of the 19th CPC Central Committee to the 20th CPC National Congress, said Sun.

The amendment will fully embody the latest achievements in adapting Marxism to the Chinese context and to the needs of the times, said the spokesperson.

It will also enshrine the new ideas, thoughts and strategies on national governance that the CPC Central Committee has set forth since the 19th CPC National Congress, while reflecting the latest experience in the Party’s development and work, he said.

The amendment will meet new requirements for advancing the Party’s development and work in the face of new circumstances and new tasks, Sun added.

Electing new CPC leadership

Following the conclusion of the 20th CPC National Congress, a new central leadership will be elected at the first plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee.

After the plenary session, members of the new Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the 20th CPC Central Committee will meet the press, said Sun.

The spokesperson also took questions from domestic and foreign reporters on some of the major issues up for discussion at the upcoming congress, ranging from China’s economy and COVID-19 response to the Taiwan question and China-U.S. relations.

When speaking about China’s economic growth over the past decade, Sun said the country had lifted all of its 98.99 million impoverished rural residents out of poverty by the end of 2020, a miracle in the human history.

“We have the confidence, resolve and capability to meet new goals and create greater miracles on the way forward,” he said.

The Second “FROM ZIQUEJIE TERRACES TO THE WORLD” Global Farming Culture Exchange and Mutual Learning Conference Held

Published

on

By

LOUDI, China, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On September 12, the opening ceremony and keynote speeches of the Second “FROM ZIQUEJIE TERRACES TO THE WORLD” Global Farming Culture Exchange and Mutual Learning Conference were presented in Xinhua County, Loudi City, Hunan Province. Over 200 guests, including representatives from international organizations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), diplomats from terrace-cultivating countries like France and Peru, and domestic and international experts from the agriculture, culture, and tourism sectors, gathered to discuss key issues including the protection of global agricultural cultural heritage and the development of the green agricultural economy. Together, they explored ways to preserve and promote farming culture, showcasing Hunan’s unique approach to agricultural heritage protection and innovation, while contributing China’s solutions for the safeguarding of global agricultural cultural heritage.

During the opening ceremony, the Consensus on the Integrated Development of Terraces in Agriculture, Culture, and Tourism was released. The document promotes the understanding of the value of terraces, the protection of terrace ecosystems, the preservation of farming culture, the active promotion of agriculture, culture, and tourism integration, enhanced international exchange and cooperation, and the innovation of development models. The aim is to promote the effective protection and sustainable development of terraces globally, deepen the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism, build distinctive terrace-based industrial chains, enhance the overall competitiveness of terrace regions, and achieve ecological, economic, and social benefits for all.

Terraced fields exemplify the harmonious coexistence of human ingenuity and nature. They carry rich agricultural traditions and historical memories, and their value in preserving biodiversity, ensuring food security, and promoting regional economic development is immeasurable. The Ziquejie Terraces, recognized as both a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage System and a World Heritage Irrigation Structure, are the product of the collective labor of the Miao, Yao, Dong, Han, and other ethnic groups throughout history. These terraces are a historical testament to the merging of mountain hunting cultures with rice farming cultures.

Looking ahead, Loudi City will further strengthen the protection of agricultural cultural heritage, promote cultural inheritance, and foster the integration of agriculture, culture, and tourism. Through these efforts, it aims to provide concrete examples of “authentic protection, living use, and industrial integration” for the world.
