Wang Huning fully affirmed the work of various religious groups in 2022 and put forward ardent hopes for the work in 2023. He said that all national religious organizations should earnestly implement the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, integrate their thoughts and actions into the spirit of the 20th CPC National Congress, and integrate into the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee on religious work. We should give full play to the role of the religious community as the main body, and make the promotion of China's religious localization deeper, more detailed and more practical. We should guard against and defuse risks and hidden dangers in the religious field, adhere to the principle of independence and self-governance, and maintain normal order in the religious field and social harmony and stability. We should adhere to the comprehensive and strict governance of religion, improve the internal rules and regulations of religious organizations, improve the religious organization system and management model, and continue to carry out the education activities of respecting thrift and abstaining from extravagance. Wang Huning said that religious groups are the bridge between the Party and the government to unite and connect religious people and believers. The Party and the government have always attached great importance to the unity and cooperation with religious people. Relevant departments in all regions should, as always, support the work of religious groups and help solve practical difficulties.
