China's manned space flight program was launched 16 years ago. It developed from an un-piloted space flight to missions with more than one astronaut, one of whom completed a spacewalk.
Hu said this success showed the country had greatly increased its economic, scientific and comprehensive power after 30 years of reform and opening up.
He noted that the practice of launching manned space flight proved scientific development is a necessity for achieving the goals set for the country's development. It also showed the political advantage of a socialist system which was able to produce great national cohesion.
Innovation is the key to the nation's development, and patriotism is the inspiration for achieving all the great causes, Hu added.
"We always have to take reform and innovation as the greatest inspiration and continuously stimulate the creativity and vitality of the whole society," Hu said. "We should regard improving the ability of innovation as a strategic task and strengthen the national scientific and technological capacity."
He added that the country should make it a basic principle to cultivate a team of talented people with innovative ideas.
He said that reform of scientific and technological systems should be deepened to promote the construction of a national innovative system.
