1. Building up broad consensus with a focus on the overall work of the CPC and
the country

In the lead-up to the CPC’s 20th National Congress, we will work on
fostering political integrity within the CPPCC. To be more specific, we will
continue the practice of holding forums on Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism
with Chinese characteristics for a New Era, refine the study system under

which the theoretical study group under the leading Party members group of
the National Committee charts the course of studies, fully implement the

guiding principles of the 19th CPC Central Committee’s Sixth Plenary Session,
consolidate and build upon the achievements of our educational campaign on
the history of the CPC, acquire a thorough grasp of the CPC’s latest theories,
and rally and guide our members in sticking to the path of socialism with

Chinese characteristics with unswerving commitment.
We will further improve our regular mechanisms such as open

discussions, committee-member lecture programs, awareness-raising tours for
special tasks of major significance, press conferences by special committees,
and briefings on major issues of public concern. Furthermore, we will
encourage our members to draw on their own experience and talk about the

historic achievements and changes in the cause of the CPC and the country
since the 18th CPC National Congress through a variety of channels. We will

stage a greater variety of initiatives to fortify unity and friendship, keep track
of changes in society as they emerge, convey public concerns from different
sectors, and promote social harmony.
After the 20th CPC National Congress, we will work hard to study,

disseminate, and implement the guiding principles set forth at the Congress
