It requires them to make integrated efforts to ensure that officials do not have the audacity, opportunity, or desire to be corrupt; endeavor to win the tough and protracted battle against corruption; and develop a team of discipline inspection and supervision personnel who are loyal, upright, and responsible. Finally, the Congress calls on them to strive in unity to build a modern socialist country in all respects and advance national rejuvenation on all fronts.
