On behalf of the Cpc Tai'an Municipal Committee, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my highest respect to them!

　　Dear members and comrades, strive to create history and achieve the future through hard work. This year is the year of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the key year for the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan. At the just-concluded Twelfth Municipal Party Congress, a new municipal party committee team was elected, and the overall requirements and task objectives for the next five years were clarified, and the general requirements were: adhere to the party building as the command, take the promotion of high-quality development as the theme, vigorously promote the new industrialization, the Yellow River strategy, the integration of culture and tourism, urban upgrading, rural revitalization and common prosperity, do a good job in reform and innovation, expand opening up, optimize the environment and assessment rewards and punishments, coordinate development and security, unite and lead the people of the city to ascend to the heights and strive to be the first. Promote the advancement of all work positions, strive to be first-class, and comprehensively open up a new situation in the construction of a strong socialist modern city in the new era. This has scientifically drawn a grand blueprint for the development of Tai'an in the coming period, turning the development blueprint into a beautiful reality, requiring the whole city to work hard and press ahead, and also requiring the CPPCC to inherit and carry forward the fine traditions, gather forces, work hand in hand, shoulder the main responsibility of the main business, highlight the actions of the times, and contribute wisdom. Next, on behalf of the Tai'an Municipal CPC Committee, I would like to put forward a few hopes and demands on the CPPCC in performing its duties and fulfilling its responsibilities and making new contributions under the new situation.

　　First, in performing our duties and fulfilling our responsibilities and making new contributions, we must uphold the party's leadership and firmly grasp the political direction. The leadership of the Communist Party of China is the fundamental guarantee for the development and progress of the CPPCC cause. It is necessary to stand firm in the political stand, loyally support the "two establishments", resolutely achieve the "two safeguards", keep in mind the "great power of the country", continuously improve political judgment, political understanding, and political execution, consciously maintain a high degree of consistency with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core in terms of political stance, political direction, political principles, and political road, and effectively unify thinking and action with the party's deployment requirements for the CPPCC work, and ensure that the CPPCC work always advances in the right direction. It is necessary to hold high the banner of ideology, adhere to Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era as the fundamental guide for all work, accurately grasp the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping on strengthening and improving the work of the CPPCC, deeply study and implement the requirements of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions for inspecting Shandong, conscientiously implement the responsibility system for ideological work, and strengthen the study, research, and implementation of religious laws and regulations. It is necessary to strengthen organizational guarantees, strengthen party building in the CPPCC system, improve and perfect the CPPCC party building work system, give 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 committees, and continuously improve the quality of party building in the CPPCC system.

　　Second, to perform their duties and make new contributions, we must focus on the work of the center and actively offer suggestions and suggestions. Focusing on the central task and serving the overall situation is the first priority of the CPPCC in performing its duties and fulfilling its responsibilities. For the CPPCC, this is both a responsibility and an advantage. It is necessary to make more suggestions around development. Closely focusing on the arrangements and deployments made by the 12th Municipal Party Congress, focusing on key tasks such as new industrialization, the Yellow River strategy, the integration of culture and tourism, urban upgrading, rural revitalization and common prosperity, strengthening the analysis and study of major strategies, important issues and key work, finding the entry point and focus of the work, building the words of "breaking the problem", offering the policy of "breaking the ice", proposing the method of "breaking the situation", and effectively contributing to the high-quality development of Tai'an. To be widely connected to add vitality. Give full play to the advantages of CPPCC members in having extensive contacts, gathering talents, and intensive intelligence, widely publicize Tai'an's characteristics and advantages in terms of location transportation, industrial development, resource endowments, scientific and educational talents, and ecological environment, actively match investment attraction, talent attraction, and intelligence, and strive for more enterprises and outstanding talents to pay attention to Tai'an, and more large projects and good projects to settle in Tai'an. Take the initiative to take responsibility. The vast number of CPPCC members must always maintain the posture and vigor of the strivers, keep the cause in mind, shoulder the responsibility on their shoulders, stand in the front, and take the initiative. In particular, it is necessary to give full play to the advantages of many entrepreneurs among the committee members, encourage and support the members and entrepreneurs to play an exemplary and leading role, actively participate in the main battlefield of an industrialized and strong city, focus on making the industrial chain and industrial clusters bigger and stronger, strive to make new contributions in project construction, be a pioneer in service development, and show the new style of CPPCC members in the new era with exemplary actions.

　　Third, to perform duties and fulfill new responsibilities, we must strengthen ideological guidance and widely gather consensus. People's hearts are the greatest politics, and consensus is the driving force for progress. It is necessary to unite forces in political leadership. CPPCC members are highly representative, widely connected, and inclusive, and are an important force in the city's economic and social development. As a platform for great unity and great alliance, the CPPCC should combine the strengthening of political guidance with regular work, extensively carry out positive propaganda and propaganda activities, transform the party's propositions into the consensus of all sectors of society, and always achieve political unity, ideological unity, and action synchronization. It is necessary to unite forces in the practice of performing duties. It is necessary to give prominence to the main role of CPPCC members, improve the system of liaison among CPPCC members, innovate the forms in which CPPCC members perform their duties, strive to create good conditions for democratic parties, the Federation of Industry and Commerce, and non-party personages to play a better role, broaden the channels of consultation, enrich the forms of consultation, standardize consultation procedures, exert two-way efforts in making suggestions and consolidating consensus, and maximize the mighty power of the construction of a modern and strong city in the new era. It is necessary to unite forces in unity and friendship. Persist in carrying forward democracy and enhancing unity and mutual penetration, strengthen ties with members from all walks of life, organize members to often carry out social welfare activities such as pairing up to help each other, help the needy and the needy, further expand the breadth and depth of united front work, assist party committees at all levels to strengthen unity and cooperation with various parties and groups, two new organizations, and new social strata, seek the greatest common denominator in consistency, draw the largest concentric circles in diversity, and gather more positive energy for Tai'an's reform, development, and stability.

　　Fourth, to perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities and make new contributions, we must bear in mind the purpose and mission and perform our duties for the people in a down-to-earth manner. "Jiangshan is the people, and the people are Jiangshan." The blood of the CPPCC is in the people and the foundation is in the people. The city's CPPCC organizations at all levels and the vast number of CPPCC members must firmly establish the work concept of "the CPPCC for the people" and take the people's yearning for a better life as the goal of struggle. We must do a good job as a "bridge connecting the hearts" of the masses of the people. We should persist in asking questions of the people, the needs of the people, and the people of the government, regularly go deep into the circles and the masses at the grass-roots level, fully listen to the opinions and suggestions of all sectors and groups, promptly reflect the masses' "urgent difficulties and anxieties" problems, reflect the situation and opinions of the grass-roots units, and assist the party committees and governments in doing a good job of listening to the people's voices, observing the people's feelings, and asking the people's opinions. We must be the "guardians" of people's livelihood and well-being. Focus on hot and difficult issues such as education, medical care, pensions, transportation, employment, environmental governance, and public services, as well as problems with strong responses from all sectors of society, carry out inspection and research, thematic consultation, democratic supervision and other activities, explore the establishment of closed-loop work mechanisms, assist party committees and governments to implement various policies and measures to benefit the people, and let the people share the fruits of reform and development. It is necessary to be a good "pressure reducing valve" for resolving contradictions. Do more work to coordinate relations, straighten out emotions, resolve contradictions, and boost morale, bring diversified demands into a rational and procedural track, guide the masses to express their demands and safeguard their rights and interests through normal channels, promote the effective connection between CPPCC consultations and grass-roots consultations, and organically integrate with grass-roots social governance, and help promote the modernization of urban social governance.

　　Fifth, to perform our duties and fulfill our responsibilities and make new contributions, we must strengthen our own construction and enhance our ability level. The new situation and new tasks have put forward new and higher requirements for the work of the CPPCC. CPPCC organizations at all levels in the city should take the creation of "model organs" as the starting point, continue to strengthen their own construction, improve the level of ability to perform their duties, and strive to issue more "CPPCC voices" and contribute more "CPPCC actions" in the city's development chorus. It is necessary to strengthen the building of systems, improve and perfect the work systems for inspection and inspection, contact among committee members, members' performance of their duties, and handling and consultation of motions, and earnestly improve the ability of organization and coordination and the effectiveness of handling affairs. It is necessary to strengthen the building of work style, continue to rectify formalism and bureaucracy, strengthen front-line thinking, listen to the truth, and examine the facts, so that the work of the CPPCC will be more grounded, more in line with the people's will, and more effective. It is necessary to strengthen the building of the contingent, do a good job in study and training, strictly evaluate and supervise the performance of duties by CPPCC members, guide the "work of CPPCC members," and establish the image of a contingent that "understands the CPPCC, holds consultations, and discusses government affairs well." It is hoped that the new CPPCC members will cherish their honors, shoulder their missions, shoulder their responsibilities, and strive to become doers who perform their duties and fulfill their responsibilities, promoters of reform and development, and intimate people of the masses in various sectors.

　　The CPPCC is a political organization and democratic form under the leadership of the Party, and the work of the CPPCC is an important part of the Party's work. Party committees at all levels throughout the city should further strengthen leadership over the cppcc work, attach importance to, show concern for, and support the development of the CPPCC cause, provide a strong guarantee for the CPPCC organizations and CPPCC members to perform their duties and fulfill their duties, and form a joint force to strengthen and improve the work of the CPPCC.

　　It is hoped that all CPPCC members will stand firm in their political stand, cherish political honor, strictly abide by political rules, solemnly meet the work style and discipline, resolutely obey the unified arrangements of the meeting, and turn the meeting into a meeting of unity, encouragement, truth-seeking, and victory.

　　Greet the spring breeze and move towards the future together. Let us unite more closely around the PARTY Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, with a higher fighting spirit, a more solid style and more diligent work, ascend to the heights, strive to be the first, work with one heart and one mind, pool wisdom and efforts, constantly create a new situation in the work of the CPPCC Municipal Committee, make new and greater contributions to the construction of a modern and strong socialist city in the new era, and greet the victory of the 20th National Congress of the Party with excellent results!
