President Xi Jinping on Tuesday called on the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) to promote reform and innovation and give sincere care to people in need.

Xi made the remarks when meeting with representatives at the 10th general congress of the RCSC at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

Hailing the RCSC as a bond linking the public with the Communist Party of China and the government in the humanitarian field, Xi said the organization's role was highly valued.

He said that the humanitarian organization, founded in 1904, had played an important role in disaster rescue and relief, safeguarding people's health and promoting peace and progress of mankind.
