The National Committee of
the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the
country's top political advisory body, held a press conference on
Wednesday afternoon, ahead of the top political advisory body's
annual session.
Guo Weimin, spokesperson for
the third session of the 13th CPPCC National Committee, briefed the
media on the session and took questions through video conference due
to COVID-19 pandemic response.
The CPPCC will open its
session on March 4 at 3:00 p.m. and conclude on March 10, Guo said.
Amid regular measures to
prevent and control COVID-19, this year's session will be shorter
than previously planned.
"Last year, we shortened
duration, streamlined staffing and streamlined documents. We also
combined physical meetings with virtual ones. This year, we will
build on past practices and make the program more effective," Guo
said.
The upcoming session will
discuss the draft plan for the 14th Five-Year Plan and other key
political and economic topics.
