The CPC believed that China Zhigong Party, under its new leadership to be elected during the congress, will hold up socialism with Chinese characteristics and make more of a contribution in encouraging overseas Chinese and those who returned to mainland to engage in China's socialist modernization construction, the country's peaceful reunification, and the nation's rejuvenation, Zhang said.
Sang Guowei, chairman of Central Committee of Chinese Peasants and Workers Democratic Party, also gave a speech on behalf of the country's other non-communist parties.
Sang said that China Zhigong Party had made an active contribution to the country's economic and social development which had won wide acclaim from all circles.
The 14th National Congress of China Zhigong Party will be held from Dec. 3 to 6, during which an amendment to the party's constitution will be passed and its 14th Central Committee will be elected.
