According to the statement, revised rules for the implementation of the code include further regulations on improving investigation work and news reporting, reducing meetings and documents, standardizing visits as well as practicing frugality.

Attendees at the meeting agreed that study and implementation of the spirit of the congress would be the primary task for the party and the country for years to come, and that it is important to guide all the cadres and the general public to learn from the report to the congress as well as the Party's Constitution.
