党的十六大把“三个代表”重要思想确立为党必须长期坚持的指导思想,是历史经验的总结和实践的升 华。当前,全党和全国人民应深化对“三个代表”重要思想的科学内涵、精神实质和历史地位的认识,增强贯彻“三个 代表”重要思想的自觉性和坚定性。 The 16th National Congress of the CPC has established the important thinking of the ’Three Represents’ as the guiding principle that the party must last for a long time and is the summary of historical experience and the distillation of its practice. At present, the entire party and people across the country should deepen their understanding of the scientific connotation, essence and historical status of the important thinking of the ’Three Represents,’ and enhance the awareness and firmness in implementing the important thinking of the ’Three Represents.’
