Hu calls for joint effort

PRESIDENT Hu Jintao called on members of all political parties, social organizations and ethnic groups to make concerted efforts to help China maintain steady economic growth in 2009.

Hu made the remarks to leaders of non-communist parties, All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and public figures without party affiliation yesterday.

Hu first extended New Year greetings to all members of the United Front, a term used by the Communist Party of China to describe its policy of uniting political forces representing people of all circles.

He also expressed gratitude for their contribution to China's economic development.

Hu said 2009 marked the 60th anniversary of the establishment of new China, and was of crucial importance to the country's modernization.

The top priority in 2009 was to stimulate economic growth, safeguard people's livelihoods, and maintain social stability, Hu said.

This could not be done without the efforts of members of all political parties, social organizations and ethnic groups, he said.
