Fellow Deputies,

Successfully completing all the work for economic and social development in 2010 will be an arduous but important task. We will unite even closer around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as General Secretary, hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, follow the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents, thoroughly apply the Scientific Outlook on Development, voluntarily accept the guidance and supervision of the NPC, and listen with an open mind to comments and suggestions from the CPPCC National Committee members. Let us strengthen our confidence, work hard with a pioneering and innovative spirit, and strive to achieve the targets for the Eleventh Five-Year Plan and promote sound and rapid economic and social development.
