China's top political adviser, Wang Huning, called on Sunday for greater unity and extensive collaboration in order to consolidate efforts to promote the country's modernization drive.

Wang, chairman of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, made the remark while delivering a speech to around 2,100 national political advisers at the closing meeting of the second session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC, the nation's top political advisory body.

President Xi Jinping, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, and other Chinese leaders attended the meeting, held at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

A resolution on a work report of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, a resolution on a report on how the proposals from political advisers have been handled since the previous annual session, a report on the examination of new proposals and a political resolution on the second session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee were approved at the meeting.

Wang said in his speech that modernization with Chinese characteristics is the common cause and shared dream of all Chinese people.

He also emphasized the significance of telling well Chinese stories to the outside world and clearly explaining that modernization with Chinese characteristics not only benefits the Chinese people but also promotes the modernization of various countries around the world, which will help create a favorable external environment.

"Modernization with Chinese characteristics is a pioneering endeavor without precedent, requiring the solicitation of diverse opinions, the gathering of collective wisdom and the pursuit of sound strategies," he said.
