Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, has vowed to ensure fairness and justice for litigants in every judicial case.

Judicial organs at all levels should give priority to resolving deep problems that harm judicial justice and impede the enhancement of judicial capacity and make sure that litigants in every case can be treated with fairness and justice, Xi said while presiding over a seminar of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on Saturday.

He urged judicial staff to uphold justice for the people, improve work style, and effectively resolve the issue of litigation that has long been a major difficulty for common people.

He stressed that more efforts should be made to provide legal assistance to people in straitened circumstances.

Xi called on judicial officials to keep in close touch with the public, improve judicial transparency, and live up to the people's expectations for judicial fairness and transparency.

Judicial organs should be ensured of their rights in exercising authority independently and fairly in line with the law, he said.
