Top legislature to open annual session May 22
    2020-04-30  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

THIS year’s two sessions — China’s most important annual political event — will be held in late May in Beijing, according to official releases yesterday.


The annual session of the National People’s Congress (NPC), the country’s top legislature, will kick off May 22, while that of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the nation’s top political advisory body, will start May 21.


The term “two sessions” refers to the annual full session of the NPC, which customarily begins March 5, and the annual plenary session of the CPPCC National Committee, which should be open March 3.


Both the sessions this year were postponed in February, as the nation was focusing on fighting the novel coronavirus epidemic at the time.


The postponement would allow efforts to be concentrated on epidemic control and put people’s lives and health at the top of priority, the top legislature said in February when making the decision.


Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Xi Jinping at the core, and through the hard work of the whole country and the people, the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control situation in China is improving steadily and the normal economic and social life is gradually resuming, according to a statement issued by the NPC Standing Committee yesterday.


With various factors taken into consideration, the conditions for convening the NPC annual session at an appropriate time are ready, said the statement.


Every year during the two sessions, about 3,000 national legislators and 2,150 national political advisers travel to Beijing to review work reports of the Central Government, top judicial authorities and the annual budget, and to bring voices from the grassroots and different social sectors to the Central leadership.
