BEIJING -- Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli on Thursday called for more efforts to reform and develop work on central and state organs.

Zhang, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the remarks while addressing a meeting honoring role models from the central and state organs for their outstanding service.

Zhang lauded their contributions to ensure efficient operation of organs affiliated with the Party and the state, as well as in promoting reform, development and stability.

Zhang asked authorities to learn from the spirit of the sixth plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee held in late October last year, ensuring the central and state organs are clean, pragmatic and efficient.

He asked central and state organs to promote reform and innovation, strengthen scientific management, practice frugality and fight extravagance.

Zhang said more efforts should be made to contribute to realizing the country's "two centenary goals" and the Chinese dream of great national renewal.

The two centenary goals are completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects by the CPC's centenary in 2021, and building a prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious country by the centenary of the People's Republic of China in 2049.
