The Chinese mainland reported only 10 new infections on Monday, all imported cases from overseas, the National Health Commission said Tuesday.
China has become the first major economy to return to growth since the COVID-19 pandemic, and has taken the lead in the world in both epidemic control and economic recovery, Xi said.
"This has demonstrated China's strong ability of recovery and enormous vitality," he said.
China is also leading global efforts on vaccine research. The vaccine developed by researchers led by national honorary title recipient Chen Wei was the first in the world to enter phase-two clinical trials on April 12.
Chen, who was awarded the title of "the People's Hero," told Xinhua that the vaccine developed by her team is undergoing phase-three clinical trials, and can deal with mutations in the coronavirus.

"Great spirit"
Xi summarized the features of China's spirit in combating the COVID-19 epidemic as -- putting people's lives first, nationwide solidarity, sacrifice, respecting science and a sense of mission for humanity.
No efforts were spared when it came to saving lives, be it a 30-hour old baby or a centenarian, thus reflecting the CPC's concept of exercising governance for the people, Xi said.
"We are willing to do whatever it takes to protect people's lives!" he said.
Xi lauded the Chinese people for uniting as one and commended the heroes emerging from all walks of life amid the epidemic.
The laws of science were followed in making decisions, treating patients, conducting technological research and governing society, he added.
Xi said China has been responsible for global public health and has launched the most intensive and wide-ranging emergency humanitarian assistance since the founding of New China.
Between March 15 and Sept. 6, China exported 151.5 billion masks, 1.4 billion protective suits, 230 million goggles and 209,000 ventilators to support the global fight against COVID-19.
China twice donated funds to the World Health Organization (WHO) totaling 50 million U.S. dollars and sent 34 medical expert teams to 32 countries.
