On international cooperation, Xi said China has helped countries and international organizations to the best of its ability, demonstrating the nation's sense of responsibility as a major and responsible country.

The COVID-19 fight has once again shown that the CPC leadership, China's socialist system and its governance system can overcome any challenge and make big contributions to the progress of human civilization.

Xi also stressed fixing the shortcomings in the country's major epidemic prevention and control mechanism and the national public health system to raise the ability to deal with major public health emergencies.

He urged targeted and effective measures to guard against the importation of cases and prevent a resurgence of the epidemic.

Xi urged non-CPC members to unswervingly stick to the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics, continue to play their role in containing the epidemic and promoting development, and help create a good atmosphere for public opinion.
