BEIDAIHE, Hebei, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- A senior Communist Party of China (CPC) official pledged on Monday to create a favorable environment for professionals to apply their talents.

Liu Yunshan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks at a meeting with about 60 top-level scientists and experts in other fields who are enjoying a state-sponsored summer vacation at Beidaihe, a coastal resort in north China's Hebei Province.

Entrusted by President Xi Jinping, Liu extended greetings and good wishes to the experts at the meeting.

He said the government will take good care of senior scientists who have offered outstanding service to the country and talented professionals who are working in the most needed lines of work.

The CPC and government expect to build up a consensus in Chinese society that knowledge and creativity should be honored and respected, Liu said.

The revival of the Chinese nation will not be realized without progress in science and technology and development of human resources, according to Liu.

He also voiced expectation that experts in all fields will work hard for the country's goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

Since 2011, more than 700 top-level experts in various fields have enjoyed summer vacations in Beidaihe.
