Sound Media Role Urged for Congress

Jiang Zemin, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, yesterday called on the country's mass media to create a "sound atmosphere" for the Party's upcoming congress.

Addressing a national conference attended by heads of Party publicity and organization departments at central and provincial level, Jiang said a "sound atmosphere" for the congress was the top priority of the Party's publicity and ideological work.

The Political Bureau of the Party's Central Committee has proposed that the Party's 16th National Congress be convened from November 8 in Beijing.

Jiang urged the media to show the public that the Party always represents the development of China's advanced productive forces, the orientation of China's advanced culture and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the Chinese people. He called for more efforts to publicize China's progress over the past two decades under the Party's leadership.
