The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) came at a critical juncture when the CPC is striving to attain the Two Centenary Goals: to complete building a moderately prosperous society in all aspects by the time the Communist Party of China celebrates its centenary in 2021; and to turn China into a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful by the time the People's Republic of China celebrates its centenary in 2049.

The critical meeting of China's ruling party, held in Beijing from October 18 to 24, set the direction for the future development of the country and chalked up four major achievements.

It saw the election of the new CPC leadership. Xi Jinping was reelected general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, and he will continue to lead the Party and the nation in the efforts for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. At the same time, a new CPC Central Committee comprising 204 members and 172 alternate members as well as a new 133-member Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC have been formed in the process of the meeting.

The CPC National Congress approved the report delivered by Xi on behalf of the 18th CPC Central Committee. The congress confirmed the Party's work in the past five years and also the achievements in building a clean party and anti-graft efforts.

The congress unanimously agreed to incorporate Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era into the Constitution of the CPC, in addition to Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Theory of Three Represents, and the Scientific Outlook on Development, which constitute the guidelines for the Party's actions.

The congress analyzed the changes in the domestic and international situations and developments and reviewed the past five years' work and historic changes. It expounded on the historic mission of the CPC in the new era, set up the goal of securing a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all aspects, and launched the new mission of developing China into a modernized socialist country. It laid out a comprehensive plan to promote the causes of socialism with Chinese characteristics and building the Party, besides indicating the way forward for the Party and the whole country.

Navigating a new era, a new mission and a new journey is the historic responsibilities facing the CPC in a new historic moment. Ninety-six years after the Party's formation, 68 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and 39 years after the adoption of the reform and opening-up policy, the CPC stays true to its original aspiration. It keeps its mission firmly in mind and continues to hold high the banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

The decisions and actions taken in the congress and the achievements made in the past years will play an important role in guiding and securing a decisive victory in realizing the Chinese dream of national rejuvenation.
