China's leading newspaper, the People's Daily, carries an editorial on Sunday hailing the successful conclusion of national meetings held by the eight non-Communist parties and by the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce.
The nine organizations elected their leaders and adopted new constitutions at their first national congresses in the new century, the paper says.
Over the past five years, the united front has played an important role in the maintenance of national unity and in the completion of the central tasks of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the government under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee.
They conscientiously studied the theory of the "Three Represents", performed their duties of democratic supervision, made a great number of proposals with regard to China's economic and social development and made unremitting efforts to promote the peaceful reunification of the motherland.
These achievements reflect the great political superiority of the united front and the multi-party cooperation system and indicate that the non-Communist parties and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce constitute an important force in supporting China's modernization drive and the great cause of the reunification of China, the paper says.
