Top leader of China's head advisory body said on September 25 that it will work harder to operate the system of multi-party cooperation and political consulation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, and promote the country's socialist democratic politics.

Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said CPPCC and its branches across the country will work with non-Communist parties, institutions and people from all ethnic groups to help build China into a better, modernized society.
