Chinese President Jiang Zemin has said that maintaining close ties between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the masses of the people should be regarded as a major aim and important content of Party building.

Jiang, also chairman of the CPC Central Military Commission, made the remark during his May 29-June 3 study tour of east China's Jiangxi Province, where he visited factories, villages, schools and research institutes.

Jiang said that the key to maintaining close ties with the masses lies in helping the masses resolve practical problems.

"The eventual aim of Party building is to maintain continuous flesh-and-blood ties with the masses and make the Party represent the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people and always have the support of the people," Jiang said.

He added that it is necessary to represent the interests of the masses by helping them tackle practical problems in their life and work.

The Party has always attached great importance to keeping close ties with the masses, and the mass line has always been the ultimate guarantee for the success of the Party's cause, Jiang added.
