BEIJING: Senior officials of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Monday urged Party organs and governments at all levels to prioritize talented individuals as the top resource for social and economic development.

It was revealed in a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, which was presided over by General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, Hu Jintao.

According to a statement issued by the meeting, members of the Political Bureau deliberated the mid- and long-term plan for national talent development (2010-2020), saying that a more open policy for introducing and cultivating talents should be carried out.

The Party should improve its leadership of talent management to cultivate talents, while all provincial-level governments and governmental departments in charge of important industries should also work out corresponding talent development plans, said the statement.

During the meeting, members of the Political Bureau also discussed a government work draft report which will be submitted by the State Council to the top legislature's annual session next month.

Under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee and with joint efforts by the country's people of all ethnic groups, China made "hard-won" achievements against the backdrop of the global economic downturn and international financial crisis in 2009, the statement said.

The State Council and local governments at all levels had performed their duties well and done a lot to overcome the difficulties, it said.

The year of 2010 will be vital to continue dealing with the impact of the global downturn and keeping steady economic growth as well as to transform the mode of economic development.

The meeting also called for more efforts to fulfill the country's 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), the statement said.
