BEIJING, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) - A senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official briefed the non-Communist Party elites about a top-level CPC economic meeting that ended on Sunday.

Du Qinglin, head of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, briefed the leaders of the non-Communist parties and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, as well as other public figures without party affiliations, on the guiding principles of the three-day Central Economic Work Conference.

The CPC pledged to enhance and improve macro-economic regulation to ensure stable and healthy economic development next year at the annual meeting that set out major economic policy targets for 2011.

Du also passed on the speeches of Chinese President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao at the economic meeting to the non-Communist elites.

Du said 2011 is the first year of the 12th five-year program and the non-Communist parties should fully recognize its significance.

He urged them to study and implement the guiding principles of the economic conference and to actively make political recommendations to ensure a good start of the 12th five-year program.

The CPC normally holds such a conference with non-Communist elites after a top-level meeting of its own.
