China’s Xi Attends Plenary Meeting of 14th National People’s Congress

Beijing: Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders attended the second plenary meeting of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC) in Beijing on Monday. Zhao Leji, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, delivered the committee's work report at the meeting, and Zhang Jun, president of the Supreme People's Court, submitted a report from the top court.

According to Anadolu Agency, a report by the NPC Standing Committee on legislative revisions and the proposed handling of certain laws and decisions was also submitted for deliberation at the meeting. The fourth session of the 14th NPC, attended by 2,765 deputies, convened on Thursday. Established in 1954, the NPC recorded its lowest attendance since 2000.

The NPC session opened a day after the 14th Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee convened for its annual session in Beijing. The parallel annual gatherings, held since 1978, are known internationally as the Two Sessions, or Lianghui in Chinese.

At least seven items are on the NPC agenda, including a government report delivered by Li as well as the country's 15th Five-Year Plan, outlining development priorities for 2026-2030.
