習(xí)近平在講話中指出，統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線是黨的總路線總政策的重要組成部分，在我國革命、建設(shè)、改革不同歷史時(shí)期發(fā)揮了重要作用。黨的十八大以來，黨統(tǒng)籌中華民族偉大復(fù)興戰(zhàn)略全局和世界百年未有之大變局，從治國理政的戰(zhàn)略高度對統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作作出全面部署，推動(dòng)統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作取得歷史性成就，統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線呈現(xiàn)出團(tuán)結(jié)、奮進(jìn)、開拓、活躍的良好局面。

習(xí)近平強(qiáng)調(diào)，我們在實(shí)踐中形成了關(guān)于做好新時(shí)代黨的統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線工作的重要思想，就加強(qiáng)和改進(jìn)統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作提出了一系列新理念新思想新戰(zhàn)略，主要是必須充分發(fā)揮統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)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(guān)系，必須堅(jiān)持好發(fā)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(shí)為黨的民族工作主線，必須堅(jiān)持我國宗教中國化方向，必須做好黨外知識(shí)分子和新的社會(huì)階層人士統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作，必須促進(jìn)非公有制經(jīng)濟(jì)健康發(fā)展和非公有制經(jīng)濟(jì)人士健康成長，必須發(fā)揮港澳臺(tái)和海外統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作爭取人心的作用，必須加強(qiáng)黨外代表人士隊(duì)伍建設(shè)，必須把握做好統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作的規(guī)律，必須加強(qiáng)黨對統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作的全面領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。關(guān)于做好新時(shí)代黨的統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線工作的重要思想，是黨的統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線百年發(fā)展史的智慧結(jié)晶，是新時(shí)代統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作的根本指針，全黨必須完整、準(zhǔn)確、全面貫徹落實(shí)。

習(xí)近平指出，統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線是黨克敵制勝、執(zhí)政興國的重要法寶，是團(tuán)結(jié)海內(nèi)外全體中華兒女實(shí)現(xiàn)中華民族偉大復(fù)興的重要法寶，必須長期堅(jiān)持。人心向背、力量對比是決定黨和人民事業(yè)成敗的關(guān)鍵，是最大的政治。統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作的本質(zhì)要求是大團(tuán)結(jié)大聯(lián)合，解決的就是人心和力量問題。關(guān)鍵是要堅(jiān)持求同存異，發(fā)揚(yáng)“團(tuán)結(jié)－批評－團(tuán)結(jié)”的優(yōu)良傳統(tǒng)，在尊重多樣性中尋求一致性，找到最大公約數(shù)、畫出最大同心圓。統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線是黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線，要確保黨對統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作全面領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作是全黨的工作，必須全黨重視，大家共同來做，構(gòu)建黨委統(tǒng)一領(lǐng)導(dǎo)、統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)部門牽頭協(xié)調(diào)、有關(guān)方面各負(fù)其責(zé)的大統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作格局。

習(xí)近平強(qiáng)調(diào)，現(xiàn)在，統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線面臨的時(shí)和勢、肩負(fù)的使命和任務(wù)發(fā)生了某些重大變化。世界百年未有之大變局加速演進(jìn)，統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線在維護(hù)國家主權(quán)、安全、發(fā)展利益上的作用更加重要。全面建設(shè)社會(huì)主義現(xiàn)代化國家、實(shí)現(xiàn)中華民族偉大復(fù)興，統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線在圍繞中心、服務(wù)大局上的作用更加重要。我國社會(huì)結(jié)構(gòu)發(fā)生深刻變化，統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線在增強(qiáng)黨的階級(jí)基礎(chǔ)、擴(kuò)大黨的群眾基礎(chǔ)上的作用更加重要。我們要深刻理解發(fā)展壯大新時(shí)代愛國統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線的重要意義，以高度的使命感和責(zé)任感做好工作。

習(xí)近平指出，統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線因團(tuán)結(jié)而生，靠團(tuán)結(jié)而興。促進(jìn)中華兒女大團(tuán)結(jié)，是新時(shí)代愛國統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線的歷史責(zé)任。做好這項(xiàng)工作，要把握好固守圓心和擴(kuò)大共識(shí)的關(guān)系，不斷增進(jìn)共識(shí)，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(huì)制度下的全體中華兒女都團(tuán)結(jié)起來。要把握好潛績和顯績的關(guān)系，堅(jiān)持正確政績觀，推動(dòng)黨的統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)事業(yè)行穩(wěn)致遠(yuǎn)。要把握好原則性和靈活性的關(guān)系，善于把方針政策的原則性和對策舉措的靈活性結(jié)合起來，既站穩(wěn)政治立場、堅(jiān)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(tuán)結(jié)和斗爭的關(guān)系，又要善于斗爭、增強(qiáng)斗爭本領(lǐng)，努力形成牢不可破的真團(tuán)結(jié)。

習(xí)近平強(qiáng)調(diào)，黨的十八大以來，黨中央始終從全局和戰(zhàn)略高度重視統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作，先后頒布有關(guān)重要法規(guī)文件，召開中央西藏工作座談會(huì)、中央新疆工作座談會(huì)、中央民族工作會(huì)議、全國宗教工作會(huì)議等重要會(huì)議，對做好新時(shí)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(shí)。要堅(jiān)持和完善中國共產(chǎn)黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的多黨合作和政治協(xié)商制度，堅(jiān)持黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，強(qiáng)化政治引領(lǐng)，完善制度機(jī)制，推動(dòng)新時(shí)代多黨合作更加規(guī)范有序、生動(dòng)活潑。要加強(qiáng)黨外知識(shí)分子和新的社會(huì)階層人士統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作，以凝聚共識(shí)為根本，以愛國奮斗為目的，鼓勵(lì)支持他們立足本職建功立業(yè)，積極投身改革創(chuàng)新一線，施展才華和抱負(fù)。要促進(jìn)非公有制經(jīng)濟(jì)健康發(fā)展和非公有制經(jīng)濟(jì)人士健康成長，深入開展理想信念教育和社會(huì)主義核心價(jià)值觀教育，幫助他們踐行新發(fā)展理念，弘揚(yáng)企業(yè)家精神，做合格的中國特色社會(huì)主義事業(yè)建設(shè)者。要加強(qiáng)海外愛國力量建設(shè)，涵養(yǎng)壯大知華友華力量，促進(jìn)中外文化文明交流互鑒。要做好網(wǎng)絡(luò)統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作，走好網(wǎng)絡(luò)群眾路線。

習(xí)近平指出，加強(qiáng)新時(shí)代統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線工作，根本在于堅(jiān)持黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，形成全黨上下一齊動(dòng)手、有關(guān)方面協(xié)同聯(lián)動(dòng)的工作局面。各級(jí)黨委（黨組）要履行主體責(zé)任，把統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作擺上重要議事日程。各部門各單位要增強(qiáng)統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)意識(shí)，齊抓共管，形成強(qiáng)大合力。統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)部門要加強(qiáng)自身建設(shè)，發(fā)揮參謀、組織、協(xié)調(diào)、督促等重要作用。統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)干部要努力提高政治判斷力、政治領(lǐng)悟力、政治執(zhí)行力，講求工作藝術(shù)，改進(jìn)工作方法，展現(xiàn)統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)部門和統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)干部的良好形象。

李克強(qiáng)在主持會(huì)議時(shí)指出，習(xí)近平總書記的講話十分重要。講話充分肯定了百年統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)的歷史性貢獻(xiàn)和新時(shí)代統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作取得的歷史性成就，系統(tǒng)闡釋了黨的十八大以來統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作形成的新理念新思想新戰(zhàn)略，深入分析了新時(shí)代統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作的歷史方位，明確提出了做好新時(shí)代統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作的指導(dǎo)思想、基本任務(wù)、工作重點(diǎn)、政策舉措，具有很強(qiáng)的政治性、思想性、理論性。要認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)領(lǐng)會(huì)，把思想和行動(dòng)統(tǒng)一到習(xí)近平總書記重要講話精神上來，深刻領(lǐng)悟“兩個(gè)確立”的決定性意義，不斷增強(qiáng)“四個(gè)意識(shí)”、堅(jiān)定“四個(gè)自信”、做到“兩個(gè)維護(hù)”，結(jié)合實(shí)際抓好各項(xiàng)任務(wù)貫徹落實(shí)，為把我國建設(shè)成為富強(qiáng)民主文明和諧美麗的社會(huì)主義現(xiàn)代化強(qiáng)國、實(shí)現(xiàn)中華民族偉大復(fù)興的中國夢不懈奮斗。

汪洋在總結(jié)講話中指出，習(xí)近平總書記重要講話高屋建瓴、思想深邃、內(nèi)涵豐富，闡明了新時(shí)代統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作一系列重大理論和實(shí)踐問題，具有深刻的歷史洞察力、重要的理論引領(lǐng)力、強(qiáng)大的實(shí)踐指導(dǎo)力，是一篇閃耀著馬克思主義真理光芒的綱領(lǐng)性文獻(xiàn)。要把學(xué)習(xí)貫徹好會(huì)議精神作為重要政治任務(wù)，深刻領(lǐng)悟“兩個(gè)確立”的決定性意義，完整準(zhǔn)確全面理解習(xí)近平總書記關(guān)于做好新時(shí)代黨的統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線工作的重要思想，牢牢把握新時(shí)代愛國統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線的歷史方位和重要使命，圍繞新時(shí)代新征程黨的中心任務(wù)凝心聚力。要不負(fù)期望、真抓實(shí)干，增強(qiáng)做好新時(shí)代統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作的政治自覺、思想自覺、行動(dòng)自覺，努力在補(bǔ)短板上下功夫，在敢擔(dān)當(dāng)上作表率，在善作為上動(dòng)腦筋，不斷鞏固和發(fā)展統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線團(tuán)結(jié)、奮進(jìn)、開拓、活躍的良好局面。要加強(qiáng)黨對統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，進(jìn)一步完善大統(tǒng)戰(zhàn)工作格局，從實(shí)際出發(fā)，創(chuàng)造性地把黨中央決策部署落到實(shí)處，奮力譜寫統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線事業(yè)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.
