Guo Shengkun, the new head of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee under the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said on Tuesday that the committee must fulfill its duties to maintain social stability and make the public feel more secure.

Guo added that achieving the great goal of socialism with Chinese characteristics requires a safe and stable social environment and fair legal environment

Guo, 63, made the remark during a meeting of the committee. It was his first public appearance as the committee's Party secretary. His new appointment was a part of reshuffling among Party officials after the 19th CPC National Congress, which concluded last week.

Guo added that achieving the great goal of socialism with Chinese characteristics requires a safe and stable social environment and fair legal environment.

Guo, who is currently still the minster and Party chief of the Ministry of Public Security, was elected to the 25-member Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on Oct 25 during the First Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee.
