Jiang Zemin Stresses Good Work on Civil Affairs

Officials in charge of civil affairs should work harder to serve the people in difficulty and contribute to social stability, Chinese President Jiang Zemin said in Beijing Monday.

Jiang made the remark while addressing the participants to the 11th national conference on civil affairs, noting that the work on civil affairs has scored great progress since the 10th conference in 1994.

Civil affairs work is of great significance in guaranteeing the basic livelihood of people in difficulty, maintaining social stability and supporting national defense and military modernization, he said.

The president urged governments at all levels to attach more importance to civil affairs in their working agenda.

Premier Zhu Rongji also attended the meeting with the participants.

Zhu urged the country's civil affairs officials to do a better job so as to help maintain the stability of society alongside the deepening of reform and economic development.

"The Communist Party of China and the Chinese government have always attached great importance to civil affairs work," the premier told the 11th National Civil Affairs Conference.

He said that President Jiang Zemin's important instruction on the matter in his meeting with conference participants Monday will be the guideline for future work in this field.

The premier said that civil affairs work has become more onerous in the new era, during which priority in the work should be given to providing minimum living allowances to the urban poor, optimizing the national disaster relief system, improving the administration of social affairs and aiding the needy.

Zhu said that civil affairs work should be brought more closely into the orbit of the law, and be made more efficient at the aid of hi-tech, for example, computer science.
