Since 1997, under the unified arrangements of the CPC Central Committee, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security have organized 12 batches of more than 30,000 cadres and professionals to work in Xinjiang. Working alongside cadres and people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, these personnel have earnestly implemented the major decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and followed the work plans of the CPC Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Regional Committee and the Party Committee of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. With the overarching goal of fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation, they have tackled challenges head-on and worked diligently to advance law-based governance of Xinjiang, unity-based efforts to consolidate stability, the enrichment of Xinjiang through culture, the promotion of prosperity for its people, and long-term development. Their contributions have demonstrated the commitment and dedication of those participating in the aid program.
This year, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security have adhered to Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building and thoroughly implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important expositions on work related to Xinjiang. They have fully, accurately and comprehensively implemented the Party’s strategy for governing Xinjiang in the new era and organized the selection and rotation of a new batch of cadres and professionals in accordance with arrangements for paired assistance.
