The participants at the meeting spoke highly of the important instructions given by General Secretary Xi Jinping on correcting undesirable work styles including formalism, bureaucracy，hedonism and extravagance，according to a statement released after the meeting.
The second volume of Xi Jinping’s Governance of China is authoritative in the interpretation of the Xi Jinping Thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era, the statement said.
