The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top political advisory
body, is due to hold its fourth session on March 3.
The proposal was submitted and passed at the 31st meeting of the
chairman and vice-chairpersons of the Tenth National Committee of
the CPPCC held in Beijing Friday, presided over by Jia
Qinglin, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee.
The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC)
Central Committee held a meeting recently on stepping up and
improving the work of the CPPCC, which set clear tasks for the
CPPCC in the new century and new phase, reflecting the great
importance the CPC Central Committee attached to the development of
the CPPCC, Jia said.
He noted that the CPPCC organizations at various levels and all
the members should further advance the work of the CPPCC in
fulfilling its roles and promote the self-development of the
CPPCC,so that the CPPCC can better serve the great practice of
building a comparatively prosperous society in an all-round
way.
This year's "two sessions" of the Nation People's Congress (NPC)
and the CPPCC have very important meanings in uniting and arousing
the people of all ethnicities and leading a sound beginning of the
11th national five-year plan period (2006-2010) and, therefore,
good preparation must be made for the annual session of the CPPCC,
Jia stressed.
The meeting decided to hold the 12th session of the Standing
Committee of the Tenth CPPCC National Committee from Feb. 26 to 28,
as preparations for the upcoming annual session.
The secretary-general, deputy secretary-general and
spokespersons of the CPPCC annual session were also decided at the
meeting.
