BEIJING, July 31 -- The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) convened a symposium earlier this month to listen to the suggestions of leading members of non-Communist parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and representatives of personages without party affiliation over the current economic situation and the economic work in the latter half of the year.

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the symposium held on July 17 and delivered an important speech emphasizing that the country must capitalize on the advantages of the system of CPC-led multiparty cooperation and political consultation.

"It is necessary for [non-Communist parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, and personages without party affiliation] to serve as good advisers, helpers, and colleagues of the CPC, advance scientific, democratic, and law-based decision-making, push for the modernization of China's system and capacity for governance, and make joint efforts in properly handling the affairs of China," Xi said.

The meeting was also attended by Li Keqiang, Wang Yang, Wang Huning, and Han Zheng, all members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

Li introduced China's economic work in the first half of the year and the CPC Central Committee's considerations for economic work in the latter half.
