BEIJING -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has demanded efforts to build the general offices of Communist Party of China (CPC) committees and governments into model organs that can be trusted by the Party and meet the expectations of the people.

Xi said that the general offices of Party committees and governments play a special and significant role in the governance system of the Party and the country and shoulder important responsibilities.

On the new journey, the general offices ought to resolutely uphold the Party Central Committee's centralized and unified leadership and always follow the Party Central Committee closely in thought, political stance and action, Xi noted.

He urged the general offices to play a better role as the advisors and assistants of Party committees and governments, and make new and greater contributions to building China into a strong country and to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
