Leaders, lawmakers discuss work report

While joining a panel discussion with the NPC delegation from Anhui province, top legislator Wu Bangguo called for efforts to promote economic growth and sustainable development through innovation and by expanding domestic demand.

Wu, chairman of the NPC Standing Committee, said the deep-seated problems and conflicts that hinder economic and social development should be solved, calling for breakthroughs in some important fields.

He also called for more attention to be paid to improving people's livelihoods by addressing important issues concerning their lives, especially those of disadvantaged groups.

In discussions with NPC deputies from Beijing on Monday, Jia Qinglin, China's top political adviser, said the government work report delivered by Wen was a good and practical one that could inspire people.

Jia said the report emphasized making progress while maintaining stability and outlined policy priorities on improving people's living standards and promoting social fairness and justice.

Jia urged Beijing to take more effective measures to reduce air pollution, particularly improving air quality through the monitoring and treatment of tiny floating particles 2.5 micrometers in diameter or less, known as PM2.5.

While attending the panel discussion with NPC deputies from Sichuan province, Li Changchun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of Communist Party of China's Central Committee, expressed appreciation for the progress made in rebuilding the area following a devastating earthquake in 2008.
