全面建设小康社会,使社会主义中国发展和富强起来,为人类进步作出更大贡献,这是我们党必须勇敢担负起来的历史任务。因此,党的十六大鲜明地提出了本世纪头20年全面建设小康社会的奋斗目标,并写进党章。这对于凝聚全党和全国各族人民的力量,加快推进社会主义现代化,具有十分重要的意义。 To build a well-off society in an all-round way, to develop and prosper the socialist China and to make greater contributions to the progress of mankind are the historical tasks our party must shoulder bravely. Therefore, the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the goal of building an overall well-to-do society in the first 20 years of this century and wrote it into the party’s constitution. This is of great significance to unifying the entire party and the people of all ethnic groups across the country and speeding up the socialist modernization.
