In accordance with the plans of the Beijing Investment Promotion Service Center to study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, on April 28, the Center organized a launching ceremony for the thematic education of “using thematic education as a driving force to fuel the investment promotion undertakings" for retired CPC members and officials. The participants also include Sun Yao, Secretary of the Leading Party Members’ Group and Director of the Beijing Investment Promotion Service Center, along with all members of the leadership team.

This event consists of three parts. The first is to launch the thematic education for retired CPC members and officials, with the distribution of thematic education materials to them. The second is to visit the History Exhibition Hall of the Communist Party of China. The third is to visit the new office of the Beijing Investment Promotion Center and hold discussions with members of the leadership team of the Center. Prior to the launching ceremony, the retired CPC members and officials went to the History Exhibition Hall of the Communist Party of China to review the Party admission oath and explored the development process of the Communist Party of China. During the observation, they were actively engaging in discussions and expressing their appreciation at the rapid and transformative developments taking place in our great motherland under the leadership of the Party, while also enthusiastically endorsing our beautiful lives. After the visit, they all returned to the new office of the Beijing Investment Promotion Center at the Liuliqiao office area of the Municipal Administration Service Center to hold the launching ceremony of the thematic education. They had a discussion with members of the leadership team and visited the new office. Sun Yao informed the retired CPC members and officials about the progress and recent priorities of the Center’s thematic education, and distributed thematic education materials to them. He pointed out that this year is the starting year for the full implementation of the spirit of the 19^th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Additionally, it is also a time for conducting thematic education. Although retired CPC members and officials have already left their work positions, they still need to remain firmly committed to their ideals and beliefs, consciously fulfill the “Two Upholds” and always keep in mind the purpose of the Party. CPC members should have faith in the Party and love the Party, promote the in-depth understanding and implementation of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, strive to make new contributions to the cause of investment promotion, and serve as examples for their families and friends.

Retired CPC members and officials shared their reflections on their learning experience in thematic education and actively provided suggestions for the Center's development. They said that the Leading Party Members’ Group and leaders of the Center always care about and show concern for retired CPC members and officials, making them feel greatly cared for by the Party organization. With the Center now relocated to a new office space, there has been significant progress in various tasks, which has greatly motivated everyone. Moving forward, retired CPC members and officials will steadfastly uphold their original aspirations and fully practice Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for A New Era in everyday behaviors. It is imperative for them to strengthen the awareness of the “Four Consciousnesses”, foster unwavering confidence in the “Four-Sphere Confidence”, safeguard the “Two Upholds”, and consistently maintain strong alignment with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in terms of thoughts, political stance, and actions. Throughout the engagement in thematic education, the retired CPC members and officials must continuously nurture their Party spirit, ardently contribute their energy and expertise, and cheer for investment promotion undertakings.
