The national commendation Conference for advanced collectives and individuals in the work of veteran cadres was held in Beijing on the 21st. *** *** It is hoped that the majority of veteran cadres will not forget their original heart, bear in mind their mission, adhere to the old and have something to do, continue to shine, carry forward the party's fine tradition, continue the red blood, tell the story of the party's major achievements and historical experience in the Centennial struggle, and actively contribute wisdom and strength to the realization of the second Centennial goal and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. *** For a long time, the majority of veteran cadres and workers have been unknown and selfless, and have made a lot of efforts and positive contributions to the work of veteran cadres. Veteran cadres' work departments and veteran cadres' workers should carefully use emotion and accurate service, and strive to create extraordinary achievements in ordinary posts. Party committees and their organizational departments at all levels should pay attention to and care for the working team of veteran cadres, strengthen their training and education, and care about their growth and progress with enthusiasm. *** *** *** We should strengthen the self-development of veteran cadres' work departments, strive to build a model department that reassures the party and satisfies veteran cadres, and build an excellent team with firm politics, excellent work style and professional proficiency. The Congress commended 100 national advanced collectives and 300 advanced individuals in the work of veteran cadres.
