I'm not sure what 'Party arid government bodies' are supposed to be. Where did you come across this term? It doesn't seem to be English.

TOEIC listening, talks: Announcing the retirement of a company's president

This sentence was taken from the coursebook on translation.

I saw where you got this from. I think it is a misprint and should be "Party and government bodies are greatly assisted by scientists." The "n" looks a lot like "ri"

Thank you very much!
