State Ethnic Affairs Commission Stresses Need to Increase Transparency in Work

In response to a March 2005 call by the General Offices of the Party Central Committee and State Council to increase government transparency, the State Ethnic Affairs Commission (SEAC) recently met to discuss its own Plan for Implementing Greater Transparency in Ethnic Affairs Work. The director of the SEAC's newly established Leading Group for Transparency in Ethnic Minority Work called on "every office and every person" to recognize the importance of incorporating greater transparency into their daily government work. The Leading Group plans to publish its working plan within the next six months. For examples of Transparency Work Plans from other offices, see here and here.
