Top political advisory body to hold standing committee meeting in November

BEIJING - The standing committee of 13th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top political advisory body, will convene its ninth meeting in early November in Beijing.

The decision was made Wednesday at the 27th chairman and vice-chairpersons' meeting of the 13th CPPCC National Committee, which was presided over by Wang Yang, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee.

At the Wednesday meeting, attendees highlighted the importance of the just-concluded Central Conference on the CPPCC Work marking the 70th founding anniversary of the CPPCC and called for concrete efforts in implementing the spirit of the conference.

Wang, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said studying and implementing the spirit of the conference is the primary political task of political consultative institutions and political advisors at various levels in the immediate future and for some time to come.

The missions and requirements outlined at the conference should be translated into actions, said Wang.

Wednesday's meeting also reviewed and approved the draft agenda and schedule of the November meeting.
