NPC meetings may take the form of preliminary meetings, presidium
meetings, plenary sessions of the full NPC, meetings of delegations
and closed-door sessions.
According to the provisions of the Organic Law of the National
People's Congress and the Rules of Procedure for the NPC, the
Standing Committee provides the chair for preliminary meetings of
the NPC. For example the meeting to prepare for the first plenary
session of each new NPC is chaired by the Standing Committee of the
outgoing NPC. The work of this preparatory meeting includes
electing the Presidium and Secretary-General, adopting agendas and
making the other arrangements necessary for the upcoming session of
the NPC. Plenary sessions are chaired by the presiding chairman of
the NPC session in which they fall.
