Xi emphasized mobilizing the whole society, leveraging the institutional strength of concentrating resources to get things done and tapping the composite national strength as well as closely relying on science and technology.

He said China used less than a week to identify the full genome sequence of the novel coronavirus and isolate the virus strain, produced various testing kits and swiftly selected a number of effective drugs and treatments. Different types of vaccines have also entered clinical trials.

Patriotism, collectivism and socialism were promoted during the COVID-19 fight, a large number of role models emerged and the sense of national unity was enhanced, he said.

On international cooperation, Xi said China has helped countries and international organizations to the best of its ability, demonstrating the nation's sense of responsibility as a major and responsible country.

The COVID-19 fight has once again shown that the CPC leadership, China's socialist system and its governance system can overcome any challenge and make big contributions to the progress of human civilization.

Xi also stressed fixing the shortcomings in the country's major epidemic prevention and control mechanism and the national public health system to raise the ability to deal with major public health emergencies.

He urged targeted and effective measures to guard against the importation of cases and prevent a resurgence of the epidemic.
