Zhao Leji Emphasizes High-Quality Party Building at NPC Standing Committee Meeting

Zhao Leji, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People’s Congress (NPC), recently presided over the closing meeting of the committee’s 25th session. During his address, Zhao emphasized the critical importance of deeply studying and implementing Xi Jinping’s ideology on Party building, asserting that high-quality Party development is essential to guiding the overall progress and effectiveness of the NPC’s work.

In his remarks, Zhao highlighted that the NPC must maintain a strong political orientation, ensuring that all legislative and supervisory work remains aligned with the core principles of the Party. He called for a more robust approach to Party building within the legislative body, suggesting that ideological firmness and organizational discipline are the cornerstones of a functional and responsive legislature. By integrating Party principles into the daily operations of the NPC, the organization can better serve the needs of the nation and its people.

Beyond the formal proceedings of the Standing Committee, Zhao also held discussions with representatives attending the session. During these dialogues, he underscored the necessity of thoroughly studying and implementing the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He urged NPC deputies to strengthen their political awareness, maintain strict discipline, and improve their work style to better represent the public interest.

Zhao’s message reflects a broader push within the Chinese government to enhance the professional and political standards of its legislative representatives. By focusing on both ideological education and practical legislative duties, the NPC aims to improve its governance capacity. The meeting concluded with a call for all members to translate these high-level directives into concrete actions, ensuring that the legislative body operates with efficiency, integrity, and a clear vision for the country’s future development.
