BEIJING, Dec. 25 (Xinhua) -- Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said authorities will maintain the multi-party cooperation system and support non-communist political parties' roles in political supervision.
Xi made the remarks while meeting the new leaders of China's eight non-communist political parties and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) on Dec. 24 and 25.
China will improve the multi-party cooperation and political consultation system under the leadership of the CPC and encourage non-communist parties to fully exert their advantages while participating in state affairs, Xi said.
On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, Xi gave congratulations to the new leaders of the eight parties and the ACFIC. He also passed on greetings to members of the parties and the ACFIC.
Under China's multi-party cooperation system, non-communist political parties and the CPC work together and supervise each other.
As of Friday, the eight parties had all held their national congresses and elected new central committees, after the CPC's own leadership transition in November.
While having discussions with the heads of the parties, Xi listened to their suggestions on a series of major issues, including the improvement of working styles, the acceleration of China's economic transformation and the deepening of health care reform.
