Xi extends Chinese New Year greetings to ring in Year of Horse

Addressing the reception attended by over 2,000 people, Xi noted China's solid progress in various fields, including law-based governance, cultural undertakings, ecological conservation, and defense, over the past year.

Xi emphasized several milestones, such as outlining the blueprint for the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory in the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, establishing the Taiwan Recovery Day, celebrating the founding anniversaries of the Xizang autonomous region and Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, and holding the 15th National Games in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao.

China put forward the Global Governance Initiative, successfully hosted the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit and the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women. These efforts, he said, brought much-needed certainty and positive energy to a world fraught with changes and turmoil.

Anti-corruption efforts yielded notable results as the CPC steadfastly exercised the full and rigorous self-governance, Xi said.

He attributed such big achievements to the concerted efforts of the entire party and people of all ethnic groups across the nation.
