China's top political advisory body will help ensure more effective consultations and suggestions with a focus on facilitating the implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan (FYP), a top official said on Thursday.
Wang Yang, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, made the remarks when delivering a Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee work report at the opening meeting of the fourth session of the 13th CPPCC National Committee.
The CPPCC will formulate work plans for democratic oversight and carry out consultative oversight over major issues in relation to the execution of the 14th FYP in order to help ensure effective implementation of the major strategies of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and the country, Wang said.
He stressed the CPPCC will hold a special consultative meeting of the Standing Committee on how to create a new development pattern and build a peaceful China, and organize special consultations on implementing the rural revitalization strategy and dealing with population aging.
"We will hold biweekly consultative forums, consultative meetings on the handling of proposals, online deliberation and consultations, consultative meetings with relevant Party and government departments, and sector-specific consultations to deliberate and offer suggestions on state affairs," Wang added.
He also noted the CPPCC will invite specialists to carry out in-depth consultations on issues such as how to progress toward common prosperity, build national security shields and implement China's policies on ethnic minorities and region.
China's top political advisory body started its annual session on Thursday afternoon in Beijing.
