After a brief introduction by Sun Yelie, the spokesman of the 20th CPC National Congress, Xi Jinping delivered an important speech. Xi Jinping began by saying that he was glad to meet with all journalists and friends here. Yesterday, the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has been successfully concluded. It was a congress that raised the banner, gathered strength and united for progress. The international community paid great attention to the 20th Congress of the CPC. Political parties from many countries sent congratulatory messages, many of which were sent by heads of state, heads of government, leaders of political parties and important organizations. On behalf of the CPC Central Committee, I would like to express our sincere gratitude.

After introducing the other members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, Xi Jinping, on behalf of the new CPC Central Committee leadership, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the trust of his comrades across the Party, saying that he must bear in mind the nature and purpose of the Party, his mission and responsibilities, and do his duty and work diligently, never failing to meet the important trust of the Party and the people.

Xi Jinping pointed out that, after the joint efforts of the whole party and the people of all ethnic groups, we built a moderately prosperous society on schedule, to achieve the first century goal. Now, we are on a new journey to comprehensively build a modern socialist country, marching to the second hundred-year goal, to promote the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization.

Xi Jinping stressed that the new journey, we must always maintain a high and vigorous spirit. The comprehensive construction of a modernized socialist country is the long-cherished wish and expectation of the Chinese nation, condensing the struggle and sweat of the Chinese people. Chinese modernization is the result of long-term practical exploration by the CPC and the Chinese people, and is a great and arduous undertaking. It is a great and arduous undertaking. Only because it is arduous is it great; only because it is arduous is it more glorious. For this cause, countless predecessors wormed their way to the top, cut through the thorns, and carried out arduous struggle, and we will always bear in mind their dedication and sacrifice. We have to bury our heads in the sand, take charge as a stronger spirit of historical initiative to promote the modernization of Marxism Chinese, and continue to write a new chapter of socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and strive to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation's Chinese dream.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the new journey, we must always adhere to all for the people, all rely on the people. A way to go, we rely closely on the people to hand in a history of the answer sheet. Looking to the future, we still have to rely on the people to create new historical greatness. The road is long and obstructed, the line will come. On the road ahead, whether high winds and waves or waves, the people will always be our most solid support, the most powerful bottom gas. We must always be with the people through thick and thin, with the people's hearts and minds, think of the people's thoughts, the people's will, and constantly turn the people's aspirations for a better life into reality.

Xi Jinping stressed that the new journey, we must always promote the party's self-revolution. A party that has undergone many vicissitudes and has not changed its mind can be evergreen; a party that has forged glory and is still brave enough to revolutionize itself can be indestructible. After a hundred years of hardening and hardening, especially the 10 years of revolutionary forging in the new era, the Communist Party of China has become stronger and more energetic. In the face of new challenges and new tests on the new journey, we must be highly vigilant, always keep the sobriety and caution to catch up with the test, and never stop promoting strict governance of the party, so that the century-old party in the self-revolution continues to flourish, and always become the most reliable and strongest backbone of the Chinese people.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the new journey, we must always promote the common values of all mankind. Today's world faces unprecedented challenges. We have always maintained that the future destiny of mankind should be grasped and decided by the peoples of the world. As long as we walk together, all countries will be able to live in harmony, cooperate and win together, and create a better future for the world. Together with all peoples, we will carry forward the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom for all mankind, maintain world peace, promote world development and continuously promote the building of a community of human destiny.

Xi Jinping stressed that China's development cannot be separated from the world, and the world's development also needs China. After more than 40 years of unremitting efforts of reform and opening up, we have created two miracles of rapid economic development and long-term social stability. Now, China's economy is resilient, full of potential, wide room for maneuver, the long-term positive fundamentals will not change. The door of China's opening will only get bigger and bigger. We will unswervingly deepen reform and opening up, unswervingly promote high-quality development, and create more opportunities for the world with our own development.

Xi Jinping pointed out that the new journey is an expedition full of glory and dreams. The blueprint has been drawn, the trumpet has blown. We must excel and move forward with courage and determination, and strive to create a brighter tomorrow.

Xi Jinping concluded by saying that over the past few days, journalists and friends have given full coverage to the conference, delivering the voice of China to the world and spreading the ideas of the Chinese Communist Party, so that the eyes of the world are on China. Thank you for your hard work, you have worked hard.
