Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday urged government officials and Communist Party of China (CPC) members to better use their power and "serve the people wholeheartedly."

Wen made the remarks in Beijing at a commendation ceremony awarding outstanding CPC members and CPC grassroots organizations in central government organs.

"As the ruling party of the country, the CPC has won the trust of the people and should make efforts to live up to their demands. All of our work should serve the people's interests," Wen said.

Wen called on CPC members and government officials to be good public servants.

"The word 'public' requires officials to prudently use their power for the benefit of the nation's people. The word 'servant' means that officials should make efforts to diligently serve the people," he said.

Wen also asked the officials to be "clean and honest" and avoid corruption.

"The people have the right to supervise the government, and we should take measures to prevent officials from abusing their power," Wen said.

Wen advised officials to work in a practical manner and oppose extravagant practices
