While the First Session of the Tenth National Committee of China's top advisory body being under way, CPC General Secretary Hu Jintao, and other politburo members have dropped in for talks with CPPCC representatives and to listen to a range of opinions and proposals.
Hu Jintao joined a discussion with a group of ethnic minority CPPCC members, together with Jia Qinglin, member of the Standing Committee of the Politiburo of CPC Central Committee.
Hu Jintao said the Chinese government has made persistent efforts in pushing the social and economic development of the ethnic minority regions since the opening－up and reform drive began in the nineteen seventies.
He stressed that the construction of a well－off society involves the common prosperity of all people living in China, regardless of their ethnic origin. In achieving that goal, Hu Jintao said the central government will always adhere to its policy of supporting the development of ethnic minority regions. He added, the government will continue to monitor and improve ethnic minority self－governance systems and maintain the nation's reunification and national unity.
