China President Xi Jinping's gets historical resolution to station his rule at party plenum

Beijing: China's ruling Communist Party has concluded on Thursday its closely watched annual political meeting known as a sixth plenary session with the passage of a rare resolution reinforcing President Xi Jinping's stature in its political history, as he looks set for an unprecedented third term as country’s leader next year.

Xi is only the third leader to have a historical



resolution adopted during his presidency, after Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping in 1945 and 1981 respectively.

The resolution on the party's "achievements and historical experiences" since its founding 100 years ago was passed at the end of a four-day, closed-door meeting of more than 300 top leaders on its Central Committee, state media reported.
