It manifests firm ideals and convictions, a high degree of historical initiative, a clear problem orientation, a strong sense of mission, deep feelings for the people, and scientific methods of thinking; it clarifies substance and applies it, with substance and application running through each other, and possesses a distinct theoretical character.

The meeting stressed that studying and implementing Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building is an important political task for the whole Party in the current period and for some time to come. Party members and officials should be organized and prompted to read the original works, study the original texts and grasp the underlying principles — to know both the what and the why — to further deeply appreciate the decisive significance of the "Two Establishments" and resolutely achieve the "Two Upholds." Systematic and theoretical research and exposition should be conducted, deeply explaining this thought's foundational achievements, original contributions, scientific system, rich content, spiritual essence and practical requirements, with propaganda carried out in ways that Party members, officials and the masses welcome. The study and implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building should be continuously pushed to go deeper and become more solid, guiding Party organizations at all levels to consciously apply it in planning and advancing Party building, and to do well in all aspects of full and rigorous Party self-governance with higher standards and more concrete measures.

会议强调，学习贯彻习近平党建思想，是当前和今后一个时期全党的一项重要政治任务。要组织推动党员、干部读原著学原文悟原理，知其然又知其所以然，进一步深刻领悟"两个确立"的决定性意义，坚决做到"两个维护"。要组织开展体系化学理化研究阐释，深入阐释这一思想的原理性成果、原创性贡献和科学体系、丰富内涵、精神实质、实践要求，以党员、干部、群众喜闻乐见的方式进行宣传。要持续推动学习贯彻习近平党建思想走深走实，引导各级党组织自觉运用习近平党建思想谋划和推进党的建设，以更高标准、更实举措抓好全面从严治党各项工作。
