The meeting stressed that local Party committees must consistently uphold the authority and unified centralized leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at the core.

The meeting also highlighted the need for a pragmatic approach and concrete steps in promoting development and ensuring security.

According to the conclusions, local Party committees are to promote high-quality development, focus on improving the living standards of the people and make every effort to ensure national security and overall social stability.

It was also stressed that it is necessary to have a proper understanding of the meaning of quality performance and to bring tangible benefits to the residents on a sustainable basis through responsible work.

The committees should also improve decision-making rules and strengthen control mechanisms.

The leaders of local party committees are to raise their professional level, strengthen their management skills, promote consistent internal party administration, and exercise their authority in accordance with laws and regulations.
