China's top legislator Li Zhanshu on Friday urged the advancement of a sound legislative framework to protect the ecological environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Li, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, made the remarks at a symposium.

Li said that legislative work should be more targeted, feasible and workable and spoke of the importance of efforts to prioritize ecological preservation.

Legislation should be focused on enhancing the prevention and management of ecological risks, and strike a balance between ecological protection, industrial production and people's livelihoods in a scientific manner, he said.

He also underscored efforts to undertake solid research and consultation and better integrate the legislation with other relevant laws.
