Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged efforts to promote high-quality development of social work in the new era.

In a recent instruction on social work, Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, highlighted the need to promote social governance under socialism with Chinese characteristics.

A central conference on social work was held in Beijing on Tuesday and Wednesday. Xi's instruction was read out at the conference.

Social work is vital to the Party's long-term governance, the country's enduring peace and stability, as well as to social harmony and stability, and the well-being of the people, Xi said in the instruction.

China's social structure is currently undergoing profound changes, with the rapid development of emerging sectors, Xi said, calling for new accomplishments to fulfill the new tasks of the changing landscape.

It is essential to strengthen Party building in new types of economic and social organizations and among those in new forms of employment, while enhancing the Party's influence, cohesion power and appeal in the emerging fields, Xi said.

It is important to give full play to the leading role of Party building in community-level governance, Xi added.

Cai Qi, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, attended the conference and gave a speech.

Cai underlined the importance of giving top priority to enhancing Party building in the emerging fields, continuing to do a good job in the Party building, reform and development of industrial associations and chambers of commerce, and making solid efforts to unite and serve the people.

The East Asian Seas (EAS) Congress kicked off in the coastal city of Xiamen in east China's Fujian Province on Wednesday, with international experts and officials gathering to share knowledge and practices on marine development.

Themed "Blue Synergy for a Shared Future: One Sustainable and Resilient Ocean," the three-day event is hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources of China, the Xiamen Municipal People's Government and the Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia(PEMSEA).

At the opening ceremony, China's Ministry of Natural Resources released the first National Ecological Protection and Restoration Bulletin, highlighting the environmental achievements that have been made in the country over the past 75 years.

One of the key topics at this year's EAS is the idea of the blue economy, which centers around the sustainable use of ocean resources to drive economic growth while preserving the marine ecosystem.

To boost trade and foster better conservation, nations and regions are actively exploring ways to partner with China on maritime projects. A representative from Antigua and Barbuda highlighted how China has helped in the Caribbean country's development through infrastructure development.

"The Chinese government has assisted us in building infrastructure projects within Antigua and Barbuda, to build ports and roads and that sort of thing, to help us in our national development, to facilitate trade. We already do some exports of food products to China, and we are hoping to expand greatly in that using the technology that we learn from these conferences and these relationships," said Athill Dean Jonas, former Minister of Social Transformation, Human Resource Development and Blue Economy of Antigua and Barbuda.

Participants also expressed their hope for advancing marine conservation efforts amid the challenges posed by climate change and other potentially harmful human activities.

An official from Tanzania's Zanzibar commended China's efforts in the sector.

"The blue economy is all about maritime trade and conservation. So I think the Chinese and Zanzibar government, they have to work together, especially in the conservation of our pristine small island in Zanzibar. I believe the Chinese have paved the way, so, we are in a position now to learn from the Chinese government and Chinese people on how they preserve their marine ecological system," said Hamad Bakar Hamad, Principal Secretary of Ministry of Blue Economy and Fisheries of Zanzibar.

The event, held every three years, will run till Friday.
