The Political Bureau recognized the accomplishments of these leading Party members' groups over the past year and approved their work plans for 2025. The meeting emphasized the importance of effective implementation and reform to advance high-quality development and the modernization of China.
"In 2025, the leading Party members' groups of the five state institutions must prioritize getting things done, pool strength to push forward reforms, and make new contributions to advancing high-quality development and Chinese modernization," noted the meeting.
The Secretariat was urged to enhance political ability, strengthen strict self-governance, and effectively accomplish all tasks entrusted by the CPC Central Committee.
The meeting highlighted the significance of ecological protection and high-quality development in the Yellow River Basin, calling for the promotion of the full enforcement of the Yellow River Protection Law.
