A senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has called for increased awareness of the importance of making government activities transparent and protection of the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people.

Wu Guanzheng, a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau and secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, made the call Thursday at a national teleconference on promoting the transparency of government work.

In his key-note speech, Wu stressed that transparency was a concrete symbol of the important thought of Three Represents which says the CPC always represents the most advanced productivity and culture in China as well as the interests of the overwhelmingly majority of the people.

It was necessary and realistic for developing socialist democracy and political civilization, and was necessary for the control and supervision of the use of administrative powers, so as to prevent and control corruption, he said.

Wu asked governments at various levels to make concrete efforts to push forward the work of enabling the public to know more about government affairs.

The meeting was presided over by He Yong, a member of the CPC Central Committee Secretariat and deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
