A national conference was held in Beijing from Wednesday to Friday to summarize China's international communication work in 2005 and arrange concrete work details for the country's publicity bodies in 2006.

Attended by heads of publicity departments of provincial-level Communist Party of China committees, the conference proposed that, in 2006, the international communication work should, with a focus on the key jobs of CPC and the State, promote China's practices on adhering to the scientific viewpoint of development.

The publicity bodies should also publicize the achievements that China has made in economic and social development and tell the world's China's diplomatic efforts in building a harmonious world with permanent peace and common prosperity, it said.

Present at the conference, Li Changchun, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, called on China's publicity departments to emancipate minds and make innovations to provide a powerful support for the implementation of the country's 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010).

Liu Yunshan, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, also addressed at the meeting, outlining plans for next year's ideological and publicity work.
