The plenary session fully affirmed the work of the Political Bureau since the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee. It unanimously agreed that the Political Bureau had earnestly implemented the guiding principles of the 20th Party Congress and the plenary sessions of the 20th Central Committee; adhered to the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability; fully, accurately, and comprehensively implemented the new development philosophy; advanced the Five-Sphere Integrated Plan in a coordinated manner and the Four-Pronged Comprehensive Strategy in a coordinated manner; taken into account the overall domestic and international situations; coordinated development and security; made solid efforts to promote high-quality economic development; advanced socialist democracy and the rule of law; carried out propaganda, ideological, and cultural work; ensured people's wellbeing and promoted ecological conservation; safeguarded national security and social stability; advanced full and rigorous Party self-governance in depth; strengthened national defense and military modernization; handled work related to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan; and advanced major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics. The goals of the 14th Five-Year Plan were successfully completed, the 15th Five-Year Plan got off to a good start, and new progress and achievements were made in the cause of the Party and the country. The Party carried out a study and education campaign on establishing and practicing a correct view of political performance and held a grand celebration of the 105th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, further rallying the entire Party and the Chinese people of all ethnic groups to unite and forge ahead.

全会充分肯定党的二十届四中全会以来中央政治局的工作。一致认为，中央政治局认真落实党的二十大和二十届历次全会精神，坚持稳中求进工作总基调，完整准确全面贯彻新发展理念，统筹推进“五位一体”总体布局，协调推进“四个全面”战略布局，统筹国内国际两个大局，统筹发展和安全，扎实推动经济高质量发展，推进社会主义民主法治建设，做好宣传思想文化工作，抓好民生保障和生态文明建设，维护国家安全和社会稳定，纵深推进全面从严治党，加强国防和军队现代化建设，做好港澳工作和对台工作，推进中国特色大国外交，“十四五”圆满收官，“十五五”开局良好，党和国家事业取得新进展新成效。开展树立和践行正确政绩观学习教育，隆重庆祝中国共产党成立105周年，进一步凝聚起全党全国各族人民团结奋进的强大力量。

Reviewing the Party's more than 100 years of struggle, the plenary session pointed out that the Communist Party of China has been able to advance from victory to victory because it embraces the lofty ideal of communism, dedicates itself to the great cause of the Chinese nation for generations to come, remains committed to seeking happiness for the Chinese people and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation, has attached great importance to exercising governance over the Party in every historical period, and has had the courage to uphold truth and correct mistakes. By relying on its own strength and the support of the people to resolve its own problems, the Party has continuously grown stronger and become the strong leadership core of the cause of the Party and the people. During revolution, construction, and reform, the Party successively treated Party building as a great project and a new great project. Since the 18th Party Congress, it has advanced the new great project of Party building in the new era in depth and found two answers for breaking free from the historical cycle of rise and fall: "letting the people supervise the government" and "self-revolution." This is a unique creation of the Communist Party of China that will be recorded forever in the history of Marxist party building.

全会回顾党100多年来的奋斗历程，指出中国共产党能够从胜利走向胜利，就在于胸怀共产主义远大理想，立志于中华民族千秋伟业，坚持为中国人民谋幸福、为中华民族谋复兴，在各个历史时期都高度重视管党治党，勇于坚持真理、修正错误，在依靠自身力量和人民支持解决自身问题中不断强大，成为党和人民事业的坚强领导核心。在革命、建设、改革中先后把党的建设作为伟大工程、新的伟大工程，党的十八大以来深入推进新时代党的建设新的伟大工程，找到“让人民来监督政府”和“自我革命”两个跳出治乱兴衰历史周期率的答案，这是中国共产党的独特创造，永载马克思主义政党建设史册。

The plenary session spoke highly of the great achievements made in full and rigorous Party self-governance in the new era. It unanimously agreed that the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core had faced head-on the grave reality that the Party's leadership had at one time been weakened, hollowed out, and diluted; that governance over the Party had been lax, superficial, and ineffective; and that some problems within the Party were shocking. With tremendous political courage and a strong sense of responsibility, it had unswervingly exercised full and rigorous Party self-governance, turned the blade inward, used strong medicine to restore order, and continuously addressed prominent problems. This fundamentally reversed the lax and weak state of governance over the Party, stopped unhealthy tendencies that had persisted for a long time, corrected chronic maladies that had remained unresolved for years, eliminated serious hidden dangers within the Party, the country, and the military, and made the Party stronger through revolutionary tempering. Full and rigorous Party self-governance in the new era has opened up a new realm for the self-revolution of a century-old Party, driven historic achievements and historic changes in the cause of the Party and the country, and enabled the Party and the people to seize the historical initiative in strengthening the Party and the country.

全会高度评价新时代全面从严治党取得的伟大成就。一致认为，以习近平同志为核心的党中央以巨大的政治勇气和强烈的责任担当，直面一度出现党的领导弱化虚化淡化、管党治党不严不实不力、党内一些问题触目惊心的严峻现实，坚定不移全面从严治党，刀刃向内、重典治乱，持续解决突出问题，从根本上扭转了管党治党宽松软状况，刹住了一些长期没有刹住的歪风，纠治了一些多年未除的顽瘴痼疾，消除了党、国家、军队内部存在的严重隐患，党在革命性锻造中更加坚强有力。新时代全面从严治党开辟了百年大党自我革命新境界，推动党和国家事业取得历史性成就、发生历史性变革，党和人民赢得强党强国的历史主动。
