Chinese top legislator Wu Bangguo said Friday the National People's Congress (NPC), the top legislature, would increase transparency in its monitoring work.

Such a policy would meet the imperative of the NPC Standing Committee's willingness to accept the supervision of NPC deputies and the public and be conducive to promoting reform, he said.

Wu, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, said the legislature would make public law enforcement reports, work reports and deliberative comments in an efficient manner according to law.

The NPC would also solicit and seriously study suggestions and advice from various social sectors, said Wu, who is also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.

News reports would be enhanced to follow the process of monitoring of important projects and focus on key issues, he added.

Media organizations should focus more on substantial contents and reduce procedural reports, Wu said as the NPC concluded its five-day bimonthly session.

He also urged NPC deputies to do more research and investigation and closely follow important social issues to develop solutions.

The top priority of the NPC's monitoring work is to strengthen the implementation of the CPC Central Committee's decisions and deployment and efforts should be made to enhance the monitoring of the economic sector and issues concerning people's livelihood, he said.

He said the country faced difficult tasks of reform, development and maintaining stability this year.

But China made hard-won achievements as its gross domestic product saw a 6.1-percent rise in the first quarter, which showed that the decisions and methods of the CPC Central Committee were correct, he said.

However, he warned that people should keep a sober mind as positive economic changes were initial and the basis for economic recovery was not stable.

China still faced many challenges, difficulties and had arduous work ahead, he said.
