A senior Communist Party of China (CPC) leader has called for enhanced CPC organization construction at grassroots level.

Liu Yunshan, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks during an inspection tour in northeast China's Liaoning Province from June 22 to 24.

Liu visited rural areas, communities, enterprises and cultural units, and recognized the achievements in Liaoning's social economic development and Party building.

During his visit, Liu said village Party committees play a vital role in political guidance and should be innovative and work more vigorously.

Liu also recognized the mechanism of sending people to serve as the first secretaries of village CPC committees to help with poverty alleviation.
