国内英语资讯:习近平主席祝贺新华社成立85周年

Xi's letter was read at a ceremony marking Xinhua's anniversary held on Saturday morning, which was attended by Xinhua President Cai Mingzhao as well as representatives of Xinhua staff.

In his speech, Cai said that Xinhua has become the backbone of the Party's media work. He went on to accentuate the "Xinhua spirit" of being loyal to the Party, being attentive to the people, seeking truth from facts, and being pioneering and innovative.

Members of Xinhua must unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, and inherit and carry forward the fine traditions passed on from their predecessors, he said.

They will work hard together so that the agency's news reporting chimes with the CPC Central Committee's governance practices, building Xinhua into a new type of first-class global news agency, and make new and greater contributions to China's two centennial goals and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Cai said.

Xinhua News Agency started on Nov. 7, 1931 as the Red China News Agency in Ruijin in southeast China. The agency changed to its current name in January 1937 in Yan'an in northwest China.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Xinhua became the state news agency.

With 85 years of development, Xinhua now operates 32 domestic branches and 180 overseas bureaus worldwide, reaching users in over 200 countries and regions.
