在十六大召开的前夕,在我党整体性新老交替的重要时刻,江泽民总书记发表了“5·31”重要的讲话。讲话高屋建瓴,内涵丰富,思想深刻,论述精辟,是对建设有中国特色社会主义伟大事业发展规律的新认识和新总结,是对“三个代表”重要思想的进一步深化。讲话全面擘划了党和国家未来发展的宏伟蓝图,不愧是马克思主义理论创新的典范,不愧是执政兴国的伟大纲领。 On the eve of the convening of the 16th CPC National Congress and at an important juncture where the old and new of our party are integrated, General Secretary Jiang Zemin published the important speech “May 31”. It is a new understanding and a new summary of the laws governing the development of the great cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, and is a further deepening of the important thinking of the ’Three Represents.’ The speech comprehensively delineated the magnificent blueprint for the future development of the party and the country and deserves to be a model for the theoretical innovation of Marxism and is indeed a great program for governing and rejuvenating the country.
