各位代表!

Fellow Deputies,

新的形势和任务，对政府工作提出了新的更高要求。各级政府要树牢“四个意识”，坚定“四个自信”，坚决做到“两个维护”，自觉在思想上政治上行动上同以习近平同志为核心的党中央保持高度一致，落实全面从严治党要求，勇于自我革命，深入推进简政放权，加快转职能、提效能，增强政府公信力和执行力，更好满足人民对美好生活的新期待。

The new developments and tasks have created new and higher demands for the work of government.

At every level of government, we should keep firmly in mind the need to maintain political integrity, think in big-picture terms, follow the leadership core, and keep in alignment. We should strengthen our confidence in the path, theory, system, and culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics. We should resolutely uphold General Secretary Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole, and resolutely uphold the Party Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership. And we should maintain a high degree of unity in thought, stance, and action with the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core and exercise full and rigorous self-discipline in the Party.

We should have the courage to conduct self-reform, further streamline administration and delegate power, speed up the transformation of our functions and the improvement of our performance, and strengthen government credibility and capacity for execution, to better meet the people's new expectations for a better life.

坚持依法全面履职。深入贯彻全面依法治国基本方略，严格遵守宪法法律，把政府活动全面纳入法治轨道。各级政府要依法接受同级人大及其常委会的监督，自觉接受人民政协的民主监督，主动接受社会和舆论监督，让权力在阳光下运行。政府干的，都应是人民盼的。要坚持科学、民主、依法决策，认真听取人大代表、政协委员意见，听取民主党派、工商联、无党派人士和各人民团体意见，听取社会公众和企业意见，使各项政策符合基本国情和客观实际，更接地气、更合民意。全面推进政务公开。支持工会、共青团、妇联等群团组织更好发挥作用。全面落实行政执法责任制和问责制，对一切违法违规的行为都要坚决查处，对一切执法不公正不文明的现象都要坚决整治，对所有行政不作为的人员都要坚决追责。

We will continue to fully perform the functions of government in accordance with law.

We must fully implement the basic strategy on comprehensive law-based governance, strictly abide by the Constitution and the law, and bring all government activities into line with the rule of law.

At every level of government, we must accept, as law requires, the oversight of the people's congresses and their standing committees at the corresponding level. We should readily subject ourselves to the democratic oversight of CPPCC committees, public oversight, and oversight through public opinion, so that power is exercised with transparency.

Everything the government does should be something the people want. We will make decisions in a sound, democratic, and legally-compliant way, listen carefully to the views of the deputies to people's congresses and CPPCC committee members; listen to the views of other political parties, federations of industry and commerce, people without party affiliation, and people's organizations, and listen to the views of the general public and the business community. This will make sure that each of our policies fits the conditions and realities of our country, responds to people's desire, and better satisfies public demand.
