Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, on Friday called on his comrades to 'stay true to the mission' taken up by the CPC 95 years ago.

"One who wants to stride ahead should not forget the path that was trodden. No matter how far we will travel and to whatever bright future, we should not forget what we have done and why we set out to do it," said Xi, at a rally marking the 95th founding anniversary of the CPC in Beijing.

He called on CPC members to 'uphold the fighting spirit' of the Party's founding members and their commitment to the people.
