Noting that the year 2019 witnessed continued efforts in deepening reform in all areas, Xi said the total number of reform schemes carried out since the third plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee had increased to 2,217.

Xi also highlighted Party-building efforts including the education campaign themed "staying true to our founding mission" among all CPC members and anti-graft work.

At the fourth plenary session of the 19th CPC Central Committee, the notable strengths of the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics were made explicit, he said.

The year 2020 is the concluding year for building a moderately prosperous society in all respects and the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), Xi noted.

Stressing efforts to deepen reform in all areas and work to maintain stable growth, advance reform, make structural adjustments, improve people's living standards, guard against risks and ensure stability, he demanded securing a decisive victory in the battle against poverty, and ensuring sustained sound economic development and overall social stability.

Xi pledged efforts to safeguard lasting prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao, promote the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations on the basis of the 1992 Consensus and make new contributions to world peace and development.

Over the past year, the CPPCC has seriously implemented decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, and made important contributions to the development of the undertakings of the Party and the country, Xi said.
