The CPC Central Committee has convened leaders from non-communist parties, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and non-party personages to solicit their advice and proposals on the country's economic work and on the improvement of the public health system.

General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Hu Jintao presided over the meeting and stressed the importance of democratic consultation for the improvement of the socialist political system and for the enhancement of leaders' governing abilities.

The victory over SARS did not come easily, but the experience gained is invaluable, said Hu, adding that it is crucial to move forward with a responsible attitude and to make continuing efforts to contain and prevent the spread of the highly contagious disease.

He also urged members of the non-communist parties to undertake more research work and to offer more pertinent and profound proposals for the country's development, guided by the important thoughts of the "Three Represents" and the principles adopted at the 16th CPC People's Congress.

During the meeting, Premier Wen Jiabao delivered reports on the country's fight against SARS, the nation's economic performance during the first half of the year, and the State Council's proposals for economic work and efforts to improve public health during the second half of the year.
