Full Text: Work report of NPC Standing Committee (9)

3. We maintained close contacts with deputies to the NPC to improve the quality and level of the work of the Standing Committee.

We solicited deputies' comments and suggestions on the work of the Standing Committee in a variety of ways, and took them as an important basis for improving our work and formulating work plans. We further expanded deputies' participation in the Standing Committee's inspections of enforcement of laws and in its research for legislative purposes, and invited them to attend meetings of the Standing Committee and special committees as observers. With their professional expertise and knowledge of local conditions, deputies made valid and sound analyses and pragmatic and pertinent comments, and played an important role in improving the quality of the Standing Committee's deliberations and raising the level of its work.

There is one more year remaining in the term of the Eleventh NPC. During the past four years, all our deputies have maintained a high sense of mission and responsibility, proved worthy of the great trust bestowed on them by the people, worked diligently to perform their functions, and participated in the administration of state affairs in accordance with the law. Our deputies come from every region, ethnic group, and sector of society and work and live among the people, so they have a personal understanding of how the principles and policies of the Party and the country as well as the Constitution and laws are being implemented, have firsthand knowledge of people's lives and wishes, and have a thorough understanding of conditions and problems at the primary level. Deputies make full use of the advantage of their close contacts with the people to fully understand their conditions, reflect their sentiments, and pool their wisdom, and thus make a positive contribution to upholding and improving the system of people's congresses, and doing the work of people's congresses well in the new circumstances.
