Party committees at all levels must make efforts to

improve the awareness of political responsibility of officials, and make sure

the officials would abide by party disciplines and political ethics, and

preserve integrity in their work, Xi said.

He urged officials at all levels to study President

Hu Jintao's speech at last Tuesday's plenary session of the CPC Central

Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).

Officials must keep in close contact with the public,

prioritize people's interests during their work, and address their needs, he

said.

Xi called for officials to ask the people for advice

and suggestions, and try harder to take practical measures to tackle public

difficulties.

He said officials should be the first to bear

hardships, but the last to enjoy comforts.

Extravagance and waste during work must be opposed to

enhance official's capability in fighting corruption, he said.
