Wen highlights scientific development concept

The formation of the new scientific development concept is a major achievement the Communist Party of China (CPC) has made in its efforts to emancipate ideological work, seek truth from facts, keep pace with the changes of the time, and realize ideological innovation, said Premier Wen Jiabao Saturday in Beijing.

He called for firmly advocating and seriously implementing the scientific development concept, to push forward the great cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics in a more fruitful way.

Wen, who is a member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, made the remarks Saturday at the conclusion of a high-level training course held at the Party School of the CPC Central Committee.

In his speech, Wen urged leading officials at all levels to guide their work in accordance with the scientific development concept, which has been developed on the basis of relevant theories of Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Zemin, heads of China's first, second and third generation leaderships, respectively.

According to the premier, the scientific development concept focuses on integrating humanism with overall, coordinated and sustainable economic and social development, while pushing forward the reform and development drive to coordinate development in both urban and rural areas and in different regions, achieve harmonious development between man and nature, coordinate domestic development and open up to the outside world.

He called for adherence to the principle of humanism, saying that humanism is the nature and kernel of the scientific development concept.

Vice President Zeng Qinghong attended the ceremony, which was presided over by Vice Premier Huang Ju. Both Zeng and Huang are members of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau.

The training course started Monday, with the participation of a group of provincial- and ministerial-level officials.

People's Daily editorial on scientific concept of development

People's Daily issues an editorial Sunday calling on leading officials to take the lead in studying and implementing a new scientific concept of development, a new advance the Communist Party of China (CPC) has made in the ideological field.

The editorial hails the scientific concept of development as an important sublimation of the CPC in its understanding of the law of economic and social development, as well as a leap forward for the Party's concept of ruling. It is of great realistic importance and far-reaching historic significance, it says.

The new concept has a rich content, and touches the fields of economic, political, cultural and social development, the editorial says.

The new concept calls for people-centered development, which is comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable. It also stresses coordinated development between urban and rural areas, among different regions, between economic and social development, between the development of man and nature, and between domestic development and opening to the outside world.
