李克強主持會議。栗戰書、王滬寧、趙樂際、韓正出席會議。汪洋作總結講話。

習近平在講話中指出，統一戰線是黨的總路線總政策的重要組成部分，在我國革命、建設、改革不同歷史時期發揮了重要作用。黨的十八大以來，黨統籌中華民族偉大復興戰略全局和世界百年未有之大變局，從治國理政的戰略高度對統戰工作作出全面部署，推動統戰工作取得歷史性成就，統一戰線呈現出團結、奮進、開拓、活躍的良好局面。

習近平強調，我們在實踐中形成了關于做好新時代黨的統一戰線工作的重要思想，就加強和改進統戰工作提出了一系列新理念新思想新戰略，主要是必須充分發揮統一戰線的重要法寶作用，必須解決好人心和力量問題，必須正確處理一致性和多樣性關系，必須堅持好發展好完善好中國新型政黨制度，必須以鑄牢中華民族共同體意識為黨的民族工作主線，必須堅持我國宗教中國化方向，必須做好黨外知識分子和新的社會階層人士統戰工作，必須促進非公有制經濟健康發展和非公有制經濟人士健康成長，必須發揮港澳臺和海外統戰工作爭取人心的作用，必須加強黨外代表人士隊伍建設，必須把握做好統戰工作的規律，必須加強黨對統戰工作的全面領導。關于做好新時代黨的統一戰線工作的重要思想，是黨的統一戰線百年發展史的智慧結晶，是新時代統戰工作的根本指針，全黨必須完整、準確、全面貫徹落實。

習近平指出，統一戰線是黨克敵制勝、執政興國的重要法寶，是團結海內外全體中華兒女實現中華民族偉大復興的重要法寶，必須長期堅持。人心向背、力量對比是決定黨和人民事業成敗的關鍵，是最大的政治。統戰工作的本質要求是大團結大聯合，解決的就是人心和力量問題。關鍵是要堅持求同存異，發揚“團結－批評－團結”的優良傳統，在尊重多樣性中尋求一致性，找到最大公約數、畫出最大同心圓。統一戰線是黨領導的統一戰線，要確保黨對統戰工作全面領導。統戰工作是全黨的工作，必須全黨重視，大家共同來做，構建黨委統一領導、統戰部門牽頭協調、有關方面各負其責的大統戰工作格局。

習近平強調，現在，統一戰線面臨的時和勢、肩負的使命和任務發生了某些重大變化。世界百年未有之大變局加速演進，統一戰線在維護國家主權、安全、發展利益上的作用更加重要。全面建設社會主義現代化國家、實現中華民族偉大復興，統一戰線在圍繞中心、服務大局上的作用更加重要。我國社會結構發生深刻變化，統一戰線在增強黨的階級基礎、擴大黨的群眾基礎上的作用更加重要。我們要深刻理解發展壯大新時代愛國統一戰線的重要意義，以高度的使命感和責任感做好工作。

習近平指出，統一戰線因團結而生，靠團結而興。促進中華兒女大團結，是新時代愛國統一戰線的歷史責任。做好這項工作，要把握好固守圓心和擴大共識的關系，不斷增進共識，真正把不同黨派、不同民族、不同階層、不同群體、不同信仰以及生活在不同社會制度下的全體中華兒女都團結起來。要把握好潛績和顯績的關系，堅持正確政績觀，推動黨的統戰事業行穩致遠。要把握好原則性和靈活性的關系，善于把方針政策的原則性和對策舉措的靈活性結合起來，既站穩政治立場、堅守政治底線，又具體問題具體分析，注重工作方式方法。要把握好團結和斗爭的關系，又要善于斗爭、增強斗爭本領，努力形成牢不可破的真團結。

習近平強調，黨的十八大以來，黨中央始終從全局和戰略高度重視統戰工作，先后頒布有關重要法規文件，召開中央西藏工作座談會、中央新疆工作座談會、中央民族工作會議、全國宗教工作會議等重要會議，對做好新時代黨的民族工作、宗教工作提出明確要求、作出全面部署，要抓好落實。要堅持和完善中國共產黨領導的多黨合作和政治協商制度，堅持黨的領導，強化政治引領，完善制度機制，推動新時代多黨合作更加規范有序、生動活潑。要加強黨外知識分子和新的社會階層人士統戰工作，以凝聚共識為根本，以愛國奮斗為目的，鼓勵支持他們立足本職建功立業，積極投身改革創新一線，施展才華和抱負。要促進非公有制經濟健康發展和非公有制經濟人士健康成長，深入開展理想信念教育和社會主義核心價值觀教育，幫助他們踐行新發展理念，弘揚企業家精神，做合格的中國特色社會主義事業建設者。要加強海外愛國力量建設，涵養壯大知華友華力量，促進中外文化文明交流互鑒。要做好網絡統戰工作，走好網絡群眾路線。

習近平指出，加強新時代統一戰線工作，根本在于堅持黨的領導，形成全黨上下一齊動手、有關方面協同聯動的工作局面。各級黨委（黨組）要履行主體責任，把統戰工作擺上重要議事日程。各部門各單位要增強統戰意識，齊抓共管，形成強大合力。統戰部門要加強自身建設，發揮參謀、組織、協調、督促等重要作用。統戰干部要努力提高政治判斷力、政治領悟力、政治執行力，講求工作藝術，改進工作方法，展現統戰部門和統戰干部的良好形象。

李克強在主持會議時指出，習近平總書記的講話十分重要。講話充分肯定了百年統戰的歷史性貢獻和新時代統戰工作取得的歷史性成就，系統闡釋了黨的十八大以來統戰工作形成的新理念新思想新戰略，深入分析了新時代統戰工作的歷史方位，明確提出了做好新時代統戰工作的指導思想、基本任務、工作重點、政策舉措，具有很強的政治性、思想性、理論性。要認真學習領會，把思想和行動統一到習近平總書記重要講話精神上來，深刻領悟“兩個確立”的決定性意義，不斷增強“四個意識”、堅定“四個自信”、做到“兩個維護”，結合實際抓好各項任務貫徹落實，為把我國建設成為富強民主文明和諧美麗的社會主義現代化強國、實現中華民族偉大復興的中國夢不懈奮斗。

汪洋在總結講話中指出，習近平總書記重要講話高屋建瓴、思想深邃、內涵豐富，闡明了新時代統戰工作一系列重大理論和實踐問題，具有深刻的歷史洞察力、重要的理論引領力、強大的實踐指導力，是一篇閃耀著馬克思主義真理光芒的綱領性文獻。要把學習貫徹好會議精神作為重要政治任務，深刻領悟“兩個確立”的決定性意義，完整準確全面理解習近平總書記關于做好新時代黨的統一戰線工作的重要思想，牢牢把握新時代愛國統一戰線的歷史方位和重要使命，圍繞新時代新征程黨的中心任務凝心聚力。要不負期望、真抓實干，增強做好新時代統戰工作的政治自覺、思想自覺、行動自覺，努力在補短板上下功夫，在敢擔當上作表率，在善作為上動腦筋，不斷鞏固和發展統一戰線團結、奮進、開拓、活躍的良好局面。要加強黨對統戰工作的領導，進一步完善大統戰工作格局，從實際出發，創造性地把黨中央決策部署落到實處，奮力譜寫統一戰線事業新篇章。

Xi stresses solidarity of Chinese at home and abroad for national rejuvenation

The Central Conference on United Front Work was held from Friday to Saturday in Beijing. Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended and delivered an important speech.

In his remarks, Xi stressed that this year marks the centenary of the CPC's clear identification of its united front policy. It is imperative that we continue to ensure the patriotic united front develops in the right direction and accurately understand its historic position in the new era.

Xi defined the main tasks of the patriotic united front in the new era as follows: to follow the guidance of the Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and uphold the CPC's leadership; to adhere to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics and hold high the great banner of patriotism and socialism; to balance commonality and diversity, focus on the central task of economic development and serve the overall interests of the country; to advance with the times and innovate on the basis of what has worked in the past; to strengthen theoretical and political guidance, and fulfill the political function of gathering support and pooling strength; to promote harmony between different political parties, ethnic groups, religions, social strata, as well as our compatriots at home and abroad; to promote concerted endeavor of Chinese people at home and abroad and bring together powerful strength for building China into a great modern socialist country in all respects and achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Li Keqiang presided over the conference. Li Zhanshu, Wang Huning, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng attended the conference. Wang Yang delivered concluding remarks.

Xi noted in his speech that the united front, as an important part of the Party's general line and general policy, has played a significant role in the different historical periods of China's revolution, construction and reform. Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, the Party has implemented the national rejuvenation strategy within the wider context of once-in-a-century changes taking place in the world, and made comprehensive arrangements for united front work from the strategic perspective of national governance. Thus, we have made historic progress in united front work, with the united front demonstrating greater solidarity and dynamism while forging ahead to open up new horizons.

Xi stressed that we have developed, through practice, important thoughts on advancing the Party's united front work in the new era and put forward a series of new concepts, ideas and strategies to improve united front work. These mainly include the following twelve aspects: we must give full play to the role of the united front as an important means; we must secure support of the people and pool strength for our cause; we must strike the right balance between commonality and diversity; we must uphold, develop and improve China's new model of political party system; we must make fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation the main task in the Party's work related to ethnic affairs; we must develop religions in the Chinese context; we must foster close bonds with non-CPC intellectuals and personages from new social strata; we must facilitate the healthy growth of the non-public sector of the economy and encourage those working in this sector to achieve success; we must exert the role of united front work to win hearts and minds of people in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan as well as overseas Chinese; we must strengthen the ranks of non-CPC representative figures; we must grasp the laws governing united front work; and we must enhance the Party's overall leadership over united front work.

The important ideas on improving the Party's united front work in the new era represent a crystallization of the Party's wisdom in developing the united front over the past century and serve as the fundamental guidelines for united front work in the new era. The whole Party must implement them fully and faithfully, Xi said.

Xi noted that the united front must be maintained for a long time to come as it is an important assurance for the CPC to defeat the enemy, to govern and rejuvenate the country, and to rally all Chinese people both at home and abroad to realize national rejuvenation. Gaining people's support and an advantage in strength is vital to the success of the cause of the Party and the people, and represents the number one consideration in politics. Great unity and solidarity are what united front work tries to achieve as it is essentially about winning people's support and pooling strength. To achieve this, it is crucial that we stay committed to the principle of seeking common ground while putting aside differences, carry on the fine tradition of remaining united while staying open to criticism, seek commonality while respecting diversity, and as a result, expand common ground and achieve the greatest possible convergence of interests.

The CPC leadership over all aspects of united front work must be secured. United front affairs are the work of the entire Party, which requires close attention and concerted efforts of all Party members. Efforts must be made to establish a pattern of united front work, with Party committees exercising unified leadership, united front departments being responsible for coordination and other relevant departments performing their respective duties.

Xi stressed that great changes have taken place in terms of the opportunities and circumstances united front work faces as well as the missions and tasks it shoulders. As profound changes unseen in a century are evolving rapidly in the world, the united front plays an even more important role in safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests. On our journey to build a modern socialist country in all respects and realize national rejuvenation, the united front plays an even more prominent role in focusing on the central task and serving the country's overall interests. As the structure of our society is undergoing a profound change, the united front plays an even more important role in bolstering the Party's class foundation and expanding public support for it. We must thoroughly understand the significance of developing and expanding the patriotic united front in the new era and effectively perform our duties with a strong sense of mission and responsibility.

The united front was created for the purpose of achieving solidarity, on the basis of which it has thrived, said Xi. The historic task of the patriotic united front in the new era is to promote great solidarity of all Chinese people. He said that to fulfill this task, we must balance our efforts to uphold the Party's leadership and to expand consensus, making tireless efforts to achieve the latter and effectively uniting all the Chinese people from different political parties, ethnic groups, social strata, social groups, with different beliefs and even living under different social systems. We must strike a balance between making obvious achievements and those that are substantial but less obvious, so as to uphold a right perspective on officials' performance and advance the Party's united front work steadily into the future. We need to balance principle and flexibility, abiding by principled guidelines and policies while adopting flexible measures and solutions when necessary. While taking a firm political stance and adhering to basic political principles, we should also adopt proper approaches and methods in line with specific cases. We should balance solidarity and struggle, being adept in carrying out struggle and improving our ability in this regard to strive for genuine solidarity that is indestructible.

Xi emphasized that since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the Party Central Committee has attached great importance to united front work from an overall and strategic perspective. A series of significant laws and regulations have been promulgated and several important meetings have been convened, such as the Central Symposium on Tibet Work, the Central Symposium on Xinjiang Work, the Central Conference on Ethnic Affairs, and the National Conference on Religious Affairs. Specific requirements were put forward and comprehensive arrangements made for improving the Party's work related to ethnic and religious affairs in the new era, and these requirements and arrangements must be fully implemented. Xi noted that we must uphold and improve the CPC-led system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation, calling for efforts to uphold the Party's leadership, strengthen political guidance and improve systems and mechanisms so as to make such cooperation rule-based, orderly and vibrant in the new era.

We should strengthen united front work on non-CPC intellectuals and personages from new social strata. With the fundamental focus on building consensus and the aim of instilling love for the country and an enterprising spirit, we will encourage them to strive for success in their careers and make the best of their talent by devoting themselves to reform and innovation. We should also promote the healthy development of the private sector and encourage those working in the sector to achieve success. We need to help them to develop firm ideals and convictions and uphold core socialist values, to put into practice the new development philosophy and to nurture an entrepreneurial spirit, so that they become qualified builders of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Efforts should be made to strengthen the ranks of patriots overseas, and help more foreigners understand and become friendly to China, so as to boost exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign cultures. We should also do a good job in united front work online and practice the mass line through the Internet, Xi said.

Xi noted that to strengthen united front work in the new era, it is crucial to uphold the Party's leadership, so that the entire Party make concerted efforts and all relevant sectors act in a coordinated manner. Party committees and leading Party members' groups at all levels must fulfill their principal responsibility for putting united front work high on their agenda. All departments and units should better realize the importance of united front work and join hands to create a powerful synergy. United front work departments should enhance self-development and exert their important roles as advisors, organizers, coordinators and supervisors. Officials of united front work should strive to improve their capacity for political judgment, thinking, and implementation, master the art of work and improve methods of work to establish a good image for their departments and themselves.

Li stressed while presiding over the meeting that Xi's speech carries great significance. According to Li, Xi hailed the historic contributions united front work has made over the past century and its achievements in the new era, expounded on its new ideas, thoughts and strategies formed since the 18th CPC National Congress, and analyzed its historic position in the new era. Li said that Xi also proposed guiding principles, fundamental tasks, focus of work as well as policies and measures for improving united front work in the new era, which are of political, ideological and theoretical significance.

We should study and digest what Xi said to think and act in line with the guiding principles of his speech. The Party has established Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and defined the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the significance of which requires our in-depth understanding, Li said. We should continue to strengthen our consciousness of the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment with the central Party leadership; enhance our confidence in the path, theory, system and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics, and uphold Xi's core position on the CPC Central Committee and in the Party as a whole as well as the Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership. We need to carry out all our tasks in line with actual conditions, and make unremitting efforts to build China into a great modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious, and beautiful, and to realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation, Li said.

According to Wang Yang in his concluding remarks, Xi's speech features great insight and rich connotations, elucidating a series of major theoretical and practical issues of united front work in the new era. Offering historic insight as well as theoretical and practical guidance, Xi's speech is a programmatic document containing the truth of Marxism.

Wang said that we should take studying and applying the guiding principles of the meeting as an important political task, deeply understand the decisive significance of the establishment of both Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and comprehend General Secretary Xi Jinping's important thought on united front work in the new era in a complete, accurate and comprehensive manner. Firmly grasping the historic position and key missions of the patriotic united front, we should also revolve around the Party's central tasks on the new journey in the new era to bring together the strength and will of the people.

Wang called for concrete efforts that live up to people's expectations and stronger awareness in political orientation, thinking, and action of the need to effectively carry out united front work in the new era. It is imperative to industriously offset our deficiencies, set a good example in shouldering responsibilities, and use our wits to ably perform our duties, in a continued effort to maintain and enhance solidarity, progress, pioneering spirit, and dynamism in the united front. We should reinforce the Party's leadership over united front work, further improve the working pattern of building a broad united front, and proceed from realities to implement the decisions and plans of the Party Central Committee in a creative manner, in a bid to write a new chapter in the cause of the united front.
