A senior Party official said on Sunday that efforts should be made to publicize the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to build consensus and unity in action for building a modern socialist country in all respects.

Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remark at a meeting on publicizing the spirit of the congress, which concluded in Beijing on Oct 22.

According to a decision of the CPC Central Committee released on Sunday, the Party will launch a major campaign on the study, promotion and implementation of the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, which is the prime political task of the entire Party at present and also in the future.
