Top political advisers must faithfully shoulder their responsibility

The new leadership of the country's top political advisory body for the next five years will be elected at the First Plenary Session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference that convenes in Beijing on Saturday, making the plenum an important event for the country's socioeconomic development.

Over the past five years, the 13th National Committee of the CPPCC has faithfully fulfilled its duties. About 24,000 out of the more than 29,000 proposals on various fields of the country's social, economic, political and cultural lives it received have been adopted and put forward to the central authorities for reference in making decisions, laws and policies.

In the process, the top political advisory body of the country, which consists of more than 2,000 members, mostly professionals and experts from all walks of life, has taken full advantage of the expertise of its nine special committees that cover all the key areas of the country's development to provide the decision-makers with pragmatic suggestions.
