Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, commended the hard work and contributions of delivery workers in Beijing on Tuesday, during a visit to a community canteen for seniors.

Xi, who was conducting a two-day inspection tour in Beijing, talked with three delivery workers who were taking a break in the canteen, asking about their work and life.

"The city couldn't function without workers like you. Your work meets the needs of countless households," Xi said, expressing his hope that they can lead good lives and work well.

Xi urged Party committees and governments at all levels to care for workers in new forms of employment and provide quality services to support their work, daily life and study.
