BEIJING- China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin on Wednesday called for greater efforts in the training of non-Communist talents so as to boost the system of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), made the remarks while addressing delegates at a meeting on training non-Communist people of influence.

Training should be conducted to promote the theoretical system of socialism with Chinese characteristics and the socialist core value system among non-Communist talents, said Jia, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

Jia stressed using educational and training efforts to forge a rank of non-Communist talents -- the backbone of which are from the administration, corporate management and technology sectors -- in order to facilitate the long-term development of the country's multi-party cooperation cause.

This training should aim to guide non-Communist talents to keep abreast with the CPC for the country's development, Jia said.
