Jiang Zemin said in his report to the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Friday that the important thought of Three Represents is the crystallization of the Party's collective wisdom and a guiding ideology the Party must follow for a long time to come.

Jiang said that to open up new prospects for the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics, the Party must hold high the great banner of Deng Xiaoping Theory and implement the important thought of Three Represents.

Speaking about the CPC history in the past 13 years, Jiang said that the basic experience of the Party can be summarized as " the Party must always represent the development trend of China's advanced productive forces, the orientation of China's advanced culture and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people."

"They are the inexorable requirements for maintaining and developing socialism and the logical conclusion our Party has reached through hard exploration and great practice," he said.

As a continuation and development of Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, this important thought reflects new requirements for the work of the Party and state arising from the changes in China and other parts of the world today, he stressed.

It is a powerful theoretical weapon for strengthening and improving Party building and promoting self-improvement and development of socialism in China, he said.

It is the crystallization of the Party's collective wisdom and a guiding ideology the Party must follow for a long time to come, and the persistent implementation of the "Three Represents" is the foundation for building the Party, the cornerstone for its governance and the source of its strength, Jiang said.

Jiang said that the persistent implementation of the important thought of Three Represents "is the foundation for building our Party, the cornerstone for its governance and the source of its strengthen."

He calls on all Party members to be keenly aware of this basic requirement, become more conscious and determined in implementing this important thought in an all-round way.

Jiang said that to carry out the important thought of Three Represents, the whole Party must maintain the spirit of keeping pace with the times and blaze new trails for the development of the Marxist theory.

"Keeping pace with the times means that all the theory and work of the Party must conform to the times, follow the law of development and display great creativity. Whether we can persist in doing this bears on the future and destiny of the Party and state," he said.

"Bringing forth new ideas in institutions, science and technology, culture and other fields through theoretical innovation, exploring the way forward in practice, never becoming conceited and never slackening our effort - these are the ways to run the Party and state, which we should follow for a long time to come," he said.

Jiang stressed that to carry out the important thought of Three Represents, it is essential for the Party to give top priority to development in governing and rejuvenating the country and open up new prospects for the modernization drive.

In China, a large developing country with a backward economy and culture, where our Party is leading the people in the modernization drive, a good solution to the problem of development has a direct bearing on the trend of popular sentiment and the success of the Party's cause, he said.

Jiang said that to carry out the important thought of Three Represents, it is essential to bring all positive factors into full play and bring new forces to the great cause of rejuvenating the Chinese nation.

"We should unite with the people of all social strata who help to make the motherland prosperous and strong, encouraging their pioneering spirit, protecting their legitimate rights and interests and commending the outstanding ones in an effort to create a situation in which all people are well positioned, do their best and live in harmony."

Jiang said that to carry out the important thought of Three Represents, it is essential to push forward Party building in a spirit of reform and instill new vitality in the Party. Party members must integrate adherence to the basic tenets of Marxism with efforts for theoretical innovation, maintenance of the fine tradition of the Party with promotion of the spirit of the times, and consolidation of the Party's class base with expansion of its mass base so that the Party serves as a strong core of leadership that is consolidated ideologically, politically and organizationally and always stands in the forefront of the times leading the people forward in solidarity, he said.

Jiang stressed that the important thought of Three Represents is always in a process of development and progress. The whole Party must continue to emancipate the mind, come up with new ideas in respect of theory and create something new in practice. It must carry out the important thought of Three Represents in all endeavors of the socialist modernization drive and in all aspects of Party building so that it always advances with the times and shares weal and woe with the people.
