The National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China’s top political advisory body, opened its annual session in Beijing on Wednesday.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and other Party and state leaders, including Li Qiang, Zhao Leji, Cai Qi, Ding Xuexiang, Li Xi and Han Zheng, attended the opening meeting of the fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the CPPCC at the Great Hall of the People.
The session agenda was reviewed and approved at the meeting.
During the session, more than 2,000 political advisors will conduct in-depth consultations and deliberations and provide their views and suggestions, focusing on the decisions and plans of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and emphasizing the formulation and implementation of the blueprint of the 15th Five-Year Plan.
Wang Huning, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, delivered a work report on behalf of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee at the meeting.
Wang reviewed the consultative body’s work over the past year. The CPPCC National Committee and its Standing Committee viewed the CPC leadership, united front and consultative democracy as an inseparable whole, aligned their work with the core missions of the Party and the country, and made full use of their role as a specialized advisory body.
For 2026, he urged political advisors to mobilize public support, build broader consensus and pool their wisdom and strengths to make a good start in implementing the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030).
Stressing the need to steadfastly uphold the leadership of the CPC, Wang called on political advisers to provide high-quality work in carrying out their duties in serving the core tasks of the Party and the country.
The CPPCC plays a vital role in multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC. Its members come from political parties, popular organizations, personalities without political affiliation and various sectors of society.
A report on the handling of proposals submitted by political advisers since the last session of the CPPCC National Committee in March 2025 was presented at the meeting.
The CPPCC National Committee received 5,992 proposals from its members over the past year, of which 5,061 were accepted for processing. The response rate for accepted proposals was 99.9%.
