BEIJING, March 4 – China’s top political advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, will hold its annual session from March 4 to 10 in Beijing, according to a spokesperson.
The second session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC will begin at 3 p.m. on Monday and conclude on the morning of March 10, lasting for a total of six days, said Liu Jieyi, spokesperson for the session, during a press conference on Sunday.
Liu stated that all preparations for the session had been completed, and various activities had been arranged. The opening and closing meetings will be observed by foreign diplomatic envoys to China.
Reviewing the CPPCC National Committee’s work in 2023, which marked the start of the 14th National Committee’s term, Liu highlighted that it had made a good beginning. He emphasized that the CPPCC’s work was completed under the overall leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Political advisors over the past year have focused on providing suggestions for Chinese modernization. A total of 94 consultation activities were held throughout the year, covering various topics including the creation of a new development pattern, with 138 research and inspection activities conducted by political advisors, according to Liu.
Liu added that this year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the establishment of the CPPCC.
Economic issues have been a priority for national political advisors in performing their political consultation duties, according to Liu.
The CPPCC National Committee has engaged in consultations and provided advice on various macroeconomic and other important economic issues, with a particular focus on high-quality development.
Over the past year, political advisors have also offered solutions to help deepen the integration and coordinated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, a significant national strategy.
This includes accelerating the establishment of a unified market in the area, advancing digitalization in industries, and establishing cross-regional talent sharing mechanisms.
