Overseas observers have praised the resolve of the Communist Party of China to strictly govern the Party, saying it will enhance the Party's governance capacity and help it lead China to an all-round moderately prosperous society.

The Sixth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, which was held from Monday to Thursday last week, pushed for the comprehensive and strict governance of the Party.

For Khalid Mahood, president of the Islamabad Council of World Affairs, the CPC's focus on strict Party governance is "a historic step", which will not only improve governance efficiency, but also enhance Chinese people's trust in the Party and will improve the global image of China and the CPC.
