人民代表大会制度是中国特色社会主义制度的重要组成部分，也是支撑中国国家治理体系和治理能力的根本政治制度。新形势下，我们要毫不动摇坚持人民代表大会制度，也要与时俱进完善人民代表大会制度。

  The system of people's congresses is an important part of the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the fundamental political system behind China's system and capacity for governance. In new situations, we should stick to the system while improving it as required by the times.

——2014年9月5日，习近平总书记在庆祝全国人民代表大会成立60周年大会上发表重要讲话

  人民政协要通过有效工作，努力成为坚持和加强党对各项工作领导的重要阵地、用党的创新理论团结教育引导各族各界代表人士的重要平台、在共同思想政治基础上化解矛盾和凝聚共识的重要渠道。

  The CPPCC, through effective efforts, should build itself into a key base to uphold and strengthen the Party's leadership over all areas of endeavor, a key platform to unite, educate and guide representatives of all ethnic groups and sectors with the Party's new theories, as well as a key channel to resolve disputes and build consensus on the common theoretical and political foundation.
