President Xi Jinping has urged Chinese writers and artists to strengthen their cultural confidence, present the world with fine works and make contributions to building China into a socialist cultural power.

Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remark on Tuesday while addressing a national conference of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Writers Association.

While asking them to shoulder their responsibilities in promoting the prosperity and development of socialist culture, Xi said that cultural workers across the country enjoy promising prospects for their work in the new era.

He stressed the need to ensure that Chinese culture serves the people and also serves socialism, follows the principle of "letting a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend", and encourages creative transformation and development.

Efforts should be made to uphold socialism, rally public support for the cause of the Party and State, foster a new generation with sound ethical values, develop Chinese culture and build a positive image of China in order to boost momentum for national rejuvenation, Xi said.
