To enhance ethnic unity, improve social management, and maintain social harmony and stability is a prerequisite of economic growth and people's well-being, said Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), at a meeting on Tibet and other Tibetan-inhabited areas in the provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan, all neighbors of Tibet autonomous region.

The fight against the Dalai Lama clique must be continued and deepened while each task in maintaining stability must be circumspectly deployed, said Jia, also member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.

He also ordered to do good work in handling issues related to Tibetan Buddhism, and strengthen and better the government-backed mechanism that safeguards people's rights and interests.

The meeting was convened in Beijing on Wednesday and Thursday.
