China to speed up talent training

The People's Daily carries an editorial on Sunday, saying that the just-concluded national conference concerning the work relating to the qualified personnel was a crucial step forward in the country's modernization drive.

The two-meeting, jointly convened by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the State Council ended in Beijing Saturday, is the first of its kind ever held since the founding of New China in 1949.

The National Conference on the Work relating to the Qualified Personnel, notes the editorial, is held at an important moment in history when the country is speeding up its modernization drive.

It would greatly boost the implementation of the strategy of building a strong nation through the development and training of abundant qualified human resources, says the editorial.

At the meeting, Chinese President and General Secretary of CPC Central Committee Hu Jintao delivered an important speech, which the editorial says should serve as an essential guideline for the country's human resources development.

Hu called for greater, substantial efforts to turn China into a nation with abundant qualified human resources.

"We must strengthen and improve our work of sorting out and developing qualified human resources and take the initiative in the international competition in this regard," it says, acknowledging that talent has become the most strategically important resources in the contemporary world.

Hu is quoted as saying that the competition in an all-round national strength is, in final analysis, a fierce competition in human resources and, with superiority in human resources, one will attain superiority in competition.

President Hu also pointed to the fact that talent was a crucial guarantee to build a well-off society.

The fundamental task of the work regarding the qualified personnel in the new era of the new century is to go all out to implement the strategy of building up the nation with the use of qualified personnel, it acknowledges.

Therefore, it adds, it is essential to foster the concept that the qualified human resources are the primary resources, and their basic, strategic and decisive roles should be brought into full play in the economic and social development.

"Building up of a nation, improving government administration and revitalizing economy all hinge on the talent," says the editorial, and the lofty cause of reform, opening-up and modernization development requires the efforts, intelligence and ability of million upon million of the qualified personnel.

The people across China are urged to rally round the CPC Central Committee with Hu Jintao as the general secretary and, with the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thoughts of the "Three Represents", implement in an all-round way the guidelines of the 16th National CPC Congress and the third session of the 16th CPC Central Committee, to open up a new situation in the work of tapping qualified human resources, so as to provide a powerful backing for the all-round development of a well-off society.

The editorial calls on organizations nationwide to put human resources higher on their agendas and create a sound environment in which all can display their talents so as to serve the nation better still.
