Thirdly, it is important to integrate the pioneering spirits of the people and the CPC leadership.

Fourthly, combination should also be highlighted between the fundamental socialist institutions and development of the market economy, which is expected to bring about vitality in reform and development in China.

Fifthly, the CPC would further push forward political reform in a drive to offer institutional and legal insurance for the socialist modernization.

Sixthly, productivity development should always be concerted with ethics enhancement.

Seventhly, efficiency improvement should be joined with the unswerving pursuit of social equality.

Eighthly, while taking further steps in joining in the globalization, China should always keep independent.

Ninthly, reform and development should go together with maintenance of social stability.

Finally, socialism with Chinese characteristics requires the ruling CPC to improve its capability in governance, corruption resistance and risk control.

Hu said China is still faced with difficulties such as low-efficient modes of development, wealth imbalance between the rich and the poor, and lagging economic state and underdeveloped livelihood in some rural areas.

"The experience in the past three decades tells us," Hu said, "the decision on adopting reform and opening-up has been in agreement with the people's thoughts, compatible with modern tides, and completely right."

Hu said the CPC would insist on holding high the banner of the socialism with Chinese characteristics and further sinifying Marxism; continuing the right way of reform and development towards a vigorous, highly efficient, more open and scientific mechanism; and letting all the people to share the economic and social fruits achieved by the reform and open-up.

Hu said the Chinese are striving for the revitalization of the great nation and making new contribution to the human society.
