Over the past year, CPPCC organizations at all levels throughout the province have firmly grasped the two major themes of unity and democracy, conscientiously performed the functions of political consultation, democratic supervision, and participation in and discussion of state affairs, made suggestions and suggestions, gathered wisdom, gathered consensus through consultation, and worked hard to gather strength and cohesion. Here, on behalf of the Anhui Provincial CPC Committee, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to cppcc organizations and CPPCC members at all levels throughout the province, to all democratic parties, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, non-party personages, people of all nationalities and all walks of life!

　　Commissioners, comrades! At present, Anhui's development is in a period of important strategic opportunities with great promise and great achievements, and to accelerate the construction of a modern and beautiful Anhui, it is urgent to unite all the forces that can be united, mobilize all the positive factors that can be mobilized, and gather the magnificent forces that can be thought and worked hard to make a difference. It is hoped that cppcc organizations and CPPCC members at all levels in the province will not forget the original intention of cooperation, share the mission of the times, and forge ahead with confidence in the new journey and build a new era of meritorious service.

　　-- To forge ahead in a new journey and a new era of meritorious service, we must find the positioning of the CPPCC under the leadership of the party. The CPPCC is a political organization, carries out political work, plays a political role, and upholding the leadership of the Communist Party of China is always the first requirement. It is necessary to take a clear-cut stand in stressing politics throughout the entire process of the CPPCC's performance of its duties, strengthen ideological and political guidance, wholeheartedly support the "two establishments," and faithfully practice the "two safeguards." It is necessary to unswervingly strengthen theoretical armament, take the study of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the top priority, follow up and study General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech in a timely manner, continue to make efforts in learning, understanding, and doing practical work, and study with heart and effort. It is necessary to unremittingly study the history of the CPC, consolidate and expand the results of the study and education of party history, profoundly understand why the CPC can do it, why Marxism works, and why socialism with Chinese characteristics is good, and continue to build a common ideological and political foundation for unity and struggle. It is necessary to unswervingly enhance political ability, bear in mind the "great power of the country," select accurate coordinates and aim at the bullseye in "the general secretary has orders, the party Central Committee has arrangements, and Anhui sees actions," so that "the party committee has a voice, the CPPCC has a response, the party committee has a deployment, and the CPPCC has follow-up," so as to ensure that the CPPCC always has the same ideology, the same goal, and the same action as the party committee.

　　-- Forging ahead into a new journey and building a new era of meritorious service, it is necessary to demonstrate the CPPCC's responsibility in serving the overall situation. Being in the overall situation, integrating into the overall situation, and serving the overall situation is the fine tradition of the CPPCC, and it is also the fundamental place where the CPPCC shows its deeds and values. It is necessary to consciously put the CPPCC work in the overall situation of the work of the whole province and plan to advance it, and leave a distinct "mark" of the CPPCC in the development of various undertakings with practical actions of consultation, effective supervision, and promising participation in state affairs. It is necessary to focus on the central task, closely focus on promoting high-quality development, adhere to the principle of steady words, seek progress in stability, and focus on the implementation of the action plan for the high-quality coordinated development of the three industries, promote the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, play a good innovation game, start an effective investment battle, create a first-class business environment, and promote the reform of "heroes on the theory of mu equalization", find the "small incision" investigation and research, contribute to the efforts, and effectively promote the implementation of the decision-making and deployment of the party committee and government. It is necessary to focus on the bottleneck problem, adhere to the problem orientation, strengthen the bottom line thinking, aim at the transformation and application of scientific and technological achievements, the coordinated development of urban and rural areas, promote carbon peak carbon neutrality, prevent and resolve risks, and innovate the shortcomings and weaknesses in grass-roots governance, accurately select topics, topics, and solve problems, improve the "targeting" of suggestions, enhance the "gold content" of senior government, and provide high-level intellectual support for the scientific decision-making of party committees and governments. It is necessary to focus on the masses' expectations and cohesion, persist in the CPPCC for the people, focus on the hot spots, difficulties, and focal issues of the people's livelihood, reflect social conditions and public opinion, carry out democratic supervision, promote the solution of the people's livelihood major issues and key small things that the people are concerned about every day, and assist the party committee and government in improving the people's livelihood and well-being and promoting common prosperity.

　　-- Forging ahead in a new journey and building a new era of meritorious service, it is necessary to give play to the advantages of the CPPCC in unity and friendship. Strength comes from unity, and happiness comes from struggle. The CPPCC is highly representative, has extensive contacts, and is inclusive, and has an irreplaceable and unique advantage in uniting all parties and uniting all walks of life. It is necessary to actively play the role of a bridge, run consultative democracy through the entire process of performing functions, do a solid job in unifying thinking, guiding expectations, and boosting confidence, so as to reduce resistance, increase assistance, and cohesion for Anhui's development to the greatest extent. It is necessary to more effectively promote consultation and discussion of state affairs, innovate work carriers, enrich operational methods, often and flexibly carry out thematic consultations, counterpart consultations, sectoral consultations, and proposal handling consultations, explore network deliberations and remote consultations, and create a good consultation atmosphere that not only speaks freely and expresses their own opinions, but also is rational and measured, and is legal and in accordance with the rules. It is necessary to carry out more close communication and liaison, extensively absorb people from all parties, groups, nationalities, strata, and all walks of life to cooperate and work together and participate in political affairs, constantly enrich the institutionalized practice of "having things to discuss well, and the affairs of the many people to be discussed by the people," do more propaganda policies, dispel doubts and doubts, and drum up more enthusiasm for unity and struggle and jointly promote development, and transmit the positive energy of strengthening confidence, gathering people's hearts, and building one heart. It is necessary to take more initiative to strengthen foreign friendship, give play to the characteristics of the CPPCC with extensive contacts and rich contacts, tell the story of Anhui in the new era, treat each other sincerely and with affection, attract more talents to serve Anhui, more merchants to develop Anhui, more projects to land in Anhui, and more funds to invest in Anhui, so as to inject strong momentum into high-quality development.

　　-- Forging ahead on a new journey and building a new era of meritorious service, it is necessary to display the style of the CPPCC in strengthening the foundation and consolidating the foundation. Strengthening self-building is the foundation of the CPPCC organization's credibility, the key to its words, and the basis for its deeds. It is necessary to lay a solid foundation with the spirit of reform and innovation, practice internal skills, and better integrate the practice of work style with the ability to perform duties. It is necessary to grasp party building, take the party's political building as the guide, focus on the building of organs and the building of the contingent of CPPCC members, comprehensively promote party building in the CPPCC system, give full play to the leading role of the CPPCC party group, the role of grass-roots party organizations as a fighting fortress, and the vanguard and exemplary role of party members in CPPCC organizations, and establish a good image of the CPPCC in the new era. It is necessary to set up a strict work style, resolutely implement the spirit of the eight provisions of the central authorities, break down formalism and bureaucracy, oppose formalities and formalities, refuse to conduct investigations and studies in the style of dragonflies and dots, vigorously guard against making big talk and singing high-pitched suggestions, vigorously guard against doing articles that are not wrong or useful, and ensure the results of work with excellent work style. It is necessary to strengthen the ability to perform duties, solidly promote theoretical innovation, practical innovation, and system innovation, be good at using new perspectives to see problems, use new thinking to seek ideas, and use new methods to grasp work, enhance the forward-looking and accurate nature of senior government suggestions, enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of consensus gathering, and promote the CPPCC cause to keep pace with the times, improve quality and efficiency. The status of CPPCC members is not only an honor, but also a responsibility; they must know their responsibilities in their hearts, shoulder their responsibilities, perform their duties in deeds, dare to make suggestions, be good at making suggestions, write well the work of cppcc members, and answer the examination papers of the times well.

　　The CPPCC is an institutional arrangement with Chinese characteristics, and the CPPCC cause is an important part of the party's cause. Party committees at all levels throughout the province should bring the work of the CPPCC into the overall situation of the work of the party committees, fully support the CPPCC in performing its functions independently and responsibly and in a coordinated manner in accordance with its charter, give more tasks and topics to the CPPCC, solve difficult problems and do practical things for the CPPCC, and ensure that the CPPCC has a political status, an opportunity to make suggestions, and a stage for its contribution. Governments and departments at all levels should actively cooperate with the CPPCC in carrying out consultations and discussions on state affairs, take the initiative to accept the democratic supervision of the CPPCC, conscientiously handle CPPCC motions and suggestions from CPPCC members, and create good conditions and provide strong guarantees for the CPPCC to perform its duties and fulfill its responsibilities.

Let us unite more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, be loyal and conscientious, strive to be the first, seize the day, move forward hand in hand, jointly write a new chapter in the construction of a modern and beautiful Anhui, and greet the victory of the 20th CPC National Congress with excellent results!
