Chinese
Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday urged efforts to pool wisdom to improve
the government's work and promote sustainable, healthy economic and
social development. When
chairing a State Council executive meeting, Li was briefed on the
handling of suggestions from deputies to the National People's Congress
(NPC) and proposals from members of the National Committee of the
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) in 2020. In
2020, offices and departments under the State Council coordinated the
handling of 8,108 suggestions from NPC deputies and 4,115 proposals
submitted by CPPCC members, taking up 88.3 percent and 84.9 percent of
the total, respectively, according to the meeting. The
meeting pointed out that relevant departments adopted about 3,700
pieces of advice and subsequently introduced some 1,500 policy measures. Concrete results must be achieved concerning the adopted advice, the meeting noted. This
year's "two sessions" will be held soon. The meeting required that
hearing advice from NPC deputies and CPPCC members and handling
proposals, as an essential part of the government's work, should be
integrated into the government's decision-making process and policy
implementation, to help secure a good start for fully building a modern
socialist country. The
meeting urged efforts to effectively collect and take in the advice and
recommendations from NPC deputies and CPPCC members during the two
sessions. Proposal
handling shall be closely incorporated into the work of the government,
the meeting noted, adding that the quality of proposal handling should
be raised. It also called on relevant departments to fulfill their due responsibilities in this regard.
