BEIJING — President Xi Jinping met with heroes and role models from public security departments across the country on May 19, stressing loyalty to the Communist Party of China (CPC).

President Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, called for those working in the country’s public security departments to serve the people, promote impartiality in law enforcement, and remain disciplined.

Premier Li Keqiang and Liu Yunshan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, also joined the meeting.

President Xi said that the heroes and role models are not only models for the public security system, but also the whole of society.

Hailing the public security forces as a team with a glorious tradition and excellent work, President Xi said they have made remarkable contributions in safeguarding national security and social stability.

They have forged an “indestructible iron wall” for national security, public security and the safety of people’s lives and property, with their sweat, and even blood and lives, the President said.

President Xi said he was deeply moved by stories of public security officers risking their lives when carrying out missions, adding that he also felt sorrow for those who lost their lives during missions.

The great spirit of heroes and role models should be carried forward in the entire country in cultivating and practicing the socialist core values, said President Xi.

President Xi called on public security forces to devote their utmost efforts to safeguarding national security and social stability, so as to meet the public needs and create a safe and stable social environment for the upcoming 19th National Congress of the CPC later this year.

CPC committees and governments at various levels were also urged to support public security forces and take care of police officers.

A total of 615 public security units and 1,320 individuals were honored at the meeting.
