The Second Secretary of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party (CC-PCC), Jose Ramon Machado Ventura, urged the members of this political organization to work with more responsibility and looking to the future.

During the inauguration of the First Conference of the PCC at Havana's Convention Center on Saturday, Machado Venture referred to the need to get rid of obsolete conceptions in order to strengthen the work of the Communist Party.

"It's not a temporary task, but something that has to be an essential and permanent element of the militants' behavior as a guarantee that the Party will always be ready to face the challenges of each historic moment,"

Machado Ventura said and added that one of the main goals of the Conference that concludes on Sunday is to guarantee the implementation of all the agreements of the Sixth Congress of the PCC held in April 2011, particularly the Social and Economic Guidelines.

On Saturday, the delegates to the Conference worked in four commissions discussing the content of the draft base document of the Conference which includes topics such as the working methods of the Party, its ideological work, the policy of cadres, and the PCC's relations with the Young Communist League (UJC) and grass-roots organizations, among others.

This document was analyzed in more than 65,000 meetings by the members of the PCC and the UJC, who expressed more than one million opinions, which resulted in the modification of 78 of the draft's 96 objectives and the addition of another five.
