Chinese President Hu Jintao called on both the governments and the branches of the Communist Party of China (CPC) at various levels to study and carry out the spirit of the fifth plenary session of the 16th CPC Central Committee which closed on October 11.

The studying and implementing of the spirit is one of the country's key political tasks and will remain to be so in the upcoming future, said Hu, who is also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee.

The governments and Party branches should substantively lift their capabilities on implementing the scientific concept of development, handling the overall situation, balancing the relations between different interest groups and being creative and pragmatic, said Hu.

All such efforts, he said, should be made according to the general requirements of promoting scientific development, lifting innovation capabilities, improving related systems and push forward harmony in the whole society.

"We should seize and make full use of the current strategic opportunity period to promote China's economic and social development, which will play a decisive role in laying a sound basis for China's development in the next decade," he said.

One of the key points in implementing the session's spirit lies with introducing advanced development concepts, making clear development ideas, innovating development modes and improving development quality so as to move China's development into a people-centered and comprehensively sustainable track, said Hu.
