BEIJING, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- A top Chinese political advisor on Monday called it an "important political task" to help non-communist party members learn and practice the country's socialist core value system.

Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), made the remarks Monday at a meeting on promoting the socialist core value system.

The concept of "socialist core value system" was publicized for the first time at the Sixth Plenum of the 16th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee in 2006, at which time the CPC highlighted the importance of creating a " harmonious socialist society."

The Party explained that the value system should consist of Marxism, socialism with Chinese characteristics, patriotism, the spirit of reform and innovation and the socialist sense of honor and disgrace.

Jia called upon various Party committees to focus on promoting the steady and healthy development of multi-party cooperation, and help solve problems for members of non-communist parties.
