The nationwide campaign to maintain the progressive nature of Communist Party of China (CPC) members has achieved its goals, said senior officials at a seminar Wednesday.

The campaign launched in January 2005 had been successful in strengthening the advanced nature of the Party, said Zeng Qinghong, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

With the firm leadership of the Central Committee, Party organizations at all levels had achieved the goals of improving the integrity of members, strengthening grassroots organizations, serving the people and promoting work, said Zeng.

The strategy of enhancing the Party's progressive nature was the guidance and firm assurance in building Socialism with Chinese characteristics, he told the seminar held on Tuesday and Wednesday in Beijing.

The seminar focused on the theoretical study of building the progressive nature of the Party for future Party construction.

Zeng's remarks gave a full picture of the current and future building of the progressive nature, which should be firmly grasped and implemented, said Wu Guanzheng, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

Party organizations at all levels should summarize the campaign's achievements, continue theoretical studies and deepen the understanding of the building of progressive nature, said He Guoqiang, head of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, at the closing session.
