The instruction was studied at the national conference on organizational work, which was held in Beijing on Wednesday and Thursday.

In the instruction published on Thursday, Xi underlined new responsibilities, and the need for new contributions from Party building and the CPC's organizational work to fulfill the mission of the Party in the new era and on the new journey.

He noted that upholding and strengthening the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee should be taken as the highest principle, and efforts should be made to build a contingent of competent key officials for governance who are capable of shouldering the mission of national rejuvenation.

Xi also underlined the need for loyalty to the Party and protecting and strengthening the Party with full efforts as the fundamental mission, saying that addressing the unique challenges faced by a major party and improving the mechanism for exercising full and strict governance over the Party must be taken as a major task.
