Top political advisory body stresses importance of research work

BEIJING—China’s top political advisor Jia Qinglin Friday called for more efforts in conducting research on the work of local political advisory bodies under new situations.
Jia, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), made the remarks when addressing a three-day meeting on summarizing good experiences of local political advisory bodies. Jia said political advisory bodies have played well their roles in political consulting, democratic supervising, discussing policies and advising on economic, political, cultural and social construction in the past five years.
“The role of political advisory bodies was seen to be more prominent in Chinese people’s political life, as local political advisory bodies innovatively explore ways to carry out their duties,” Jia said. He urged China’s political advisory bodies to make research and constantly improve themselves in a bid to move with the times.
The political party system China has adopted is multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC). The CPPCC is an important institution of multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the CPC.
After many years of practice, two basic modes of political consultation in the multi-party cooperation system have formed: the CPC’s consultation with democratic parties, and the CPC’s consultation with democratic parties and representatives from all circles in the CPPCC.—Xinhua
