WUHAN, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Shi Taifeng, a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), has urged further efforts to promote the implementation of the responsibility system in work related to the united front.

Shi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and head of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during a research trip to the central province of Hubei from April 15 to 17.

At a symposium held during the trip, Shi stressed strengthening the Party's overall leadership throughout all areas and processes of the united front work and specifying the primary responsibilities of local governments and relevant departments in this regard.
