党的十六大报告第一次明确地提出加强党的执政能力建设的问题,这是党对自身建设的重点任务所做出的科学定位。党的兴衰存亡,从根本上说,取决于能否不断加强自身建设,不断提高执政能力。 For the first time, the report of the 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China explicitly put forward the issue of strengthening the building of the party’s ability to govern. This is the scientific positioning made by the party on the key tasks of self-construction. The rise and fall of the party fundamentally depends on whether we can continuously strengthen self-construction and constantly improve our ability to govern.
