Non-communist parties elect new leaderships (2)

In an address given at the congress's closing session, Yan said the new central committee will rally and lead the association to work hard under the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The CAPD congress called on all its 128,000 members to work together with the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) to build a moderately prosperous society and rejuvenate the Chinese nation.

Yan's words echoed remarks from newly-selected top leaders of the other seven non-communist parties, who all renewed their parties' commitment to follow the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The parties also vowed to study and carry out the new guidelines set by the power-transitional CPC National Congress of last month that set a policy tone for the country's future development.

Under China's multi-party cooperation system, non-communist parties participate in state affairs under the leadership of the CPC. They and the CPC work together and supervise each other, instead of opposing each other.
