The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) held a meeting of cadres on March 13 to convey and study the guiding principles of the annual sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the CPPCC National Committee. Wang Dongfeng, vice-chairman and secretary-general of the CPPCC National Committee, attended the meeting and delivered a speech.

Wang said it is essential to gain a deep understanding of the extraordinary and remarkable development achieved over the past year and during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25), as well as the hard-won and particularly valuable achievements. It is crucial to grasp the current international situation and the overall trend of China's development, maintain strategic resolve, strengthen confidence in development and accurately comprehend the main economic and social development targets for the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30). This will provide more pragmatic and effective services and guarantees for the CPPCC National Committee and its members in performing their duties, he said.

Wang emphasized the need to effectively organize the CPPCC National Committee's consultation and deliberations focusing on the implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan, to extensively pool strengths and forge consensus and provide services and guarantees for the CPPCC National Committee to fulfill its functions, and to strengthen self-improvement and solidly conduct education on establishing and practicing a correct view on governance performance.

Wang said it is important to summarize, refine, consolidate and promote the good experiences and work style demonstrated in organizing and preparing for the fourth session of the 14th CPPCC National Committee. This includes adhering to a firm political stance to ensure the correct political direction in performing duties, persisting in advance planning to effectively organize and serve the duty performance activities of the CPPCC National Committee, and insisting on pursuing excellence to ensure high-quality and effective work in all sectors.
