The Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the ruling party's internal anti-graft body, released a communique Wednesday vowing to fight against corruption.
The three-day plenary session, concluded here Wednesday, summed up the anti-corruption and Party work done since the Party's 17th National Congress in 2007. It also outlined the plan for 2009.
The plenary session studied the speech delivered by CPC General Secretary Hu Jintao at Tuesday's meeting, and asked all Party members and discipline inspection officials to implement it accordingly.
In his speech, Hu said the integrity of officials at all levels is vital to keep steady economic growth. Officials should consciously follow socialist core value judgments as well as Party theories and policies.
Self-discipline and supervision must be relied on to cultivate model leaders, and discipline subdivisions should pursue unremitting education on virtue and morality, Hu said.
Supervision and inspection should also be promoted and implemented in major decision-making and deployment in accordance with scientific outlooks on development, Hu said.
The plenary session discussed and approved a report delivered by He Guoqiang, secretary of the commission, who called for the perfection of corruption penalties and prevention systems.
Tuesday's meeting was attended by numerous senior CPC leaders including Wen Jiabao.
