The meeting decided to focus training for CPC cadres during the Eleventh Five-Year Plan Period (2006-2010) on building a moderately prosperous society, building a harmonious socialist society, enhancing the Party's governance capability and maintaining the Party's advanced nature.

The meeting recommended that more attention be given to cadre training. The meeting recommended focusing on cadre training with the goal of building a "learning Party" and a "pro-learning society". This will provide an ideological guarantee as well as professional support for the economic and social objectives of the Eleventh Five-Year Plan.

The meeting stressed that the latest achievements of the “sinicization” of Marxism will be comprehensively examined and used. CPC cadres will further study Marxism, Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the "Three Represents" Important Thought.

CPC cadres will also be further trained on the Selected Works of Jiang Zemin, and on thinking related to the scientific view of development and the building of a harmonious socialist society, key points raised by the CPC Central Committee.

CPC cadres will learn more about the Party's ideological motives, guidelines, policies, laws and regulations, as well as the country and the Party's major economic, political, cultural, social, foreign affairs and national defense requirements. In this manner, it will be guaranteed that the cadres perform their duties in a scientific, democratic way while respecting the law, and improving their ability to promote economic and social development.

CPC cadres will be trained to study and solve major reform issues, local development and stability issues, how to address problems in people's daily lives as well as issues relating to Party building.

CPC cadres will be trained to enhance political standards, study new situations and solve new issues and open up new theoretical and practical vistas, the meeting stressed.
