　　BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Hu Jintao Saturday called on the armed forces to enhance Communist Party of China organization and promotion in a more scientific way.

　　Hu, also General Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), made the remarks when he met delegates of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) attending a seminar on Party building.

　　"Promoting Party building is a political task of paramount importance in all work of the army," he said.

　　He asked the armed forces to integrate Party-related work with practice and to build a study-oriented Party organization and team of leaders by using creative theories and improving ideological education.

　　Party building should be enhanced through more scientific methods so as to provide a strong incentive and guarantees for the army's comprehensive development and efficient fulfillment of its missions, he said.

　　In January, the CMC set down the short-term tasks to be achieved in improving Party building in the PLA: equipping the Party with creative theories, strengthening intra-Party democracy, training high-quality officers, enhancing construction of grass-roots Party organizations, carrying forward the army's work style, and improving its anti-corruption mechanisms.

　　CMC Vice Chairmen Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou and other senior military officers were present at the meeting.
