We should do a good job in the study and training, publicity, interpretation and supervision and inspection of the implementation of the regulations, and create a good environment for the whole society to act in accordance with the law, find ways to solve problems, solve contradictions and rely on the law. The Joint Conference on petition work and the petition work department should bear in mind their responsibilities and missions, adhere to the people first, strengthen problem orientation, take the initiative to act, and constantly improve their work ability and level.
