We must rally closely around the Party Central Committee with Comrade Jiang Zemin at its core, hold high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory and earnestly implement the guidelines set at the Fifteenth National Congress of the Party and the Fifth Plenary Session of the Party's Fifteenth Central Committee. We must have a clear understanding of the current situation, capitalize on the favorable conditions and work diligently and with full confidence to promote sustained, rapid and sound development of the national economy and pave the way for accomplishment of the tasks set forth in the Tenth Five-Year Plan.
