National political advisers vowed to pool their wisdom and strength to contribute to building China into a modern socialist country in all respects when the country's top political advisory body concluded its annual gathering on Saturday.

More than 2,000 members started their five-year term as advisers during the first session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which opened on March 4.

President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other leaders attended the closing meeting of the CPPCC session at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Wang Huning, chairman of the 14th CPPCC National Committee, said while addressing the closing meeting that the session spoke volumes about the characteristics and advantages of China's whole-process people's democracy and its vigor and vitality. He called for efforts to pool wisdom and strength to help accomplish the goals and tasks set at the 20th CPC National Congress in October. The advisory body should focus on people's expectations and concerns, carry out solid investigations and studies, and conduct in-depth consultations and democratic supervision in order to facilitate decision-making and implementation, he said.

Wang also stressed the importance of solidarity in pooling strength to achieve national rejuvenation. "China is now at a crucial stage for realizing the great rejuvenation, and the world today is living through accelerating changes unseen in a century, so it's more necessary to build consensus and strengthen solidarity," he said.

He called on his fellow political advisers to keep extensive connections with people from different walks of life and assist the work of the Party and the government.

Wang Zhongyi, a CPPCC member and editor-in-chief of China International Communications Group's Center for Asia-Pacific, said in the next five years, he will study ways to better perform his duties and direct more energy into making suggestions.

Zhang Lianqi, a CPPCC member and vice-president of the China Taxation Society, said the session has conveyed confidence, generated motivation and promoted unity. The speech made by Xi at a meeting of national political advisers on March 6 was reassuring for private entrepreneurs, he said.
