On June 26, Zhang Xiguo, secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of Board of Directors of the Company, visited Fuels-2 BT, Aromatics BT and Offsites BT of FREP and conducted a theme education research. He listened to the opinions and suggestions of the primary level and front-line Party members, cadres and employees, asked about hot spots and difficult issues, and studied and solved practical difficulties, so as to convert the learning and research results into actual results promoting high-quality development of the Company. Ding Hongbo, Deputy General Manager of FPCL, also participated in the research.

Zhang Xiguo presided over the meeting on the research and listened to the report on the Party building of the Party branches and Business Team management of Fuels-2, Aromatics and Offsites Business Teams. He affirmed their unique practices and achievements in work safety, operation management, quality and profitability improvement, and Party building. He had a cordial exchange with Party members, cadres and employee representatives on the fscene, and listened to their opinions and suggestions on safety and environmental protection, production and operation, innovation and profitability, talent fostering, and Party building at grassroots level.

Zhang Xiguo stressed that efforts should be made on in-depth learning and implementing the theme education of general secretary Xi Jinping’s thought of Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era. Party members and cadres should work hard to achieve actual results in forging soul, increasing intelligence, rectifying work style and promoting work through learning, strive to improve political, thinking and practical abilities, accurately understand the general requirements, objectives, tasks, methods and measures of the theme education, and solidly promote the in-depth and down-to-earth implementation of theme education according to the overall arrangements of the Company's Party Committee. We shall persistently focus on learning, devote ourselves to research, ensure effective inspection and rectification, apply what we have learned to promote development, and demonstrate the effectiveness of theme education through practical work performance.

Zhang Xiguo put forward requirements for primary level Party building work. He emphasized integration and mutual promotion of Party building and production/ operation. First, we should innovate the learning and education methods, promote learning and education based on the actual situation, focus on the effect instead of the forms, focused on the result instead of the process, and overcome dogmatism. Make good use of information technology, arrange contents reasonably, and improve learning effectiveness. Second, we should innovate the carriers of Party building activities, and set the activities with focus on solving key and difficult problems in work. We should not only demonstrate the identity of Party members, which was conducive to playing the role of Party members, but also demonstrate the characteristics of Party building in Party branches. For example, focusing on hazard rectifications in aged units, Party members should take the lead in carrying out hazard identification activities such as "no incidents happen under the watch of Party members" and "no mis-operation by Party members" for safe and stable operation. Third, we should carry out extensive technical research activities, establish a Party member research group on tackling technical difficulties, and carry out "taking up the challenge and taking the lead" activities. Focusing on equipment integrity management, carry out the "Party members’ responsibility" activity for critical machine sets, and implement the Party member responsibility areas and demonstration posts in a solid manner.

Zhang Xiguo expected that all primary level Party branches to base themselves on the actual situation of joint venture, the organizational structure and personnel characteristics, stick to the central work of production and operation, further advance the guidance by Party building, promote integration and mutual promotion, actively explore and practice the unique practices of Party building in Sino-foreign joint venture, create a brand of Party building in joint venture, and promote high-quality development of the Company by high-quality Party building.

Zhang Xiguo also visited front-line employees in CCR 1# and had a friendly exchange with them to understand their opinions and suggestions on production, living and logistics support.

The management personnel of the Organization Department and Office of the Party Committee of FPCL, as well as the management personnel of Process Department and Party& Union Department of FREP, accompanied the research. (Xiao Wanyuan)
