　　The Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China deliberated on and unanimously adopted its revised Constitution proposed by the Seventeenth Party Central Committee and decided that it shall come into force as of the date of adoption.

　　大会认为，十六大以来，以胡锦涛同志为主要代表的中国共产党人，坚持以邓小平理论和“三个代表”重要思想为指导，根据新的发展要求，深刻认识和回答了新形势下实现什么样的发展、怎样发展等重大问题，形成了以人为本、全面协调可持续发展的科学发展观。科学发展观，是同马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想既一脉相承又与时俱进的科学理论，是马克思主义关于发展的世界观和方法论的集中体现，是马克思主义中国化最新成果，是中国共产党集体智慧的结晶，是党必须长期坚持的指导思想。大会一致同意在党章中把科学发展观同马克思列宁主义、毛泽东思想、邓小平理论、“三个代表”重要思想一道确立为党的行动指南。大会要求全党同志更加深入地学习科学发展观，进一步增强贯彻落实科学发展观的自觉性和坚定性，不断完善贯彻落实科学发展观的体制机制，把科学发展观贯彻到我国现代化建设全过程、体现到党的建设各方面。

　　The congress noted that since the Party's Sixteenth National Congress, the Chinese Communists with Comrade Hu Jintao as their chief representative, following the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents, have gained a deep understanding of major questions such as what kind of development China should achieve under new conditions and how the country should achieve it to meet new requirements for development and answered these questions, and thus developed the Scientific Outlook on Development that puts people first and calls for comprehensive, balanced and sustainable development. The Scientific Outlook on Development is a scientific theory that is both in keeping with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents and is in step with the times. It fully embodies the Marxist worldview on and methodology for development and represents the latest achievement in adapting Marxism to China' s conditions. It is the crystallization of the collective wisdom of the Communist Party of China and a long-term guiding ideology the Party must adhere to. The congress unanimously agreed that along with Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thought of Three Represents, the Scientific Outlook on Development should be made a part of the Party' s guide for action in the Party Constitution. The congress called on all Party members to study the Scientific Outlook on Development more thoroughly, apply it more consciously and with greater determination, steadily improve institutions and mechanisms for implementing it, and apply it throughout the course of China's modernization and to every aspect of Party building.

　　大会认为，中国特色社会主义道路，中国特色社会主义理论体系，中国特色社会主义制度，是党和人民长期奋斗、创造、积累的根本成就。全面建成小康社会，加快推进社会主义现代化，实现中华民族伟大复兴，必须坚定不移走中国特色社会主义道路。把中国特色社会主义制度同中国特色社会主义道路、中国特色社会主义理论体系一道写入党章，有利于全党深化对中国特色社会主义的认识、全面把握中国特色社会主义的内涵。大会强调，全党同志要倍加珍惜、长期坚持和不断发展党历经艰辛开创的这条道路、这个理论体系、这个制度，坚定道路自信、理论自信、制度自信，奋力夺取中国特色社会主义新胜利。
