He told organizational authorities to boost Party cadres' confidence in the path, theories and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics via education, thus motivating them to contribute more to the realization of the "China Dream."

Referring to improving Party officials' work style as a pressing task, Liu said officials should be guided to strive for closer Party-people ties.
