Page 12 - REPORT ON THE WORK OF THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE CHINESE PEOPLE’S POLITICAL CONSULTATIVE CONFERENCE

3. Continuing to strengthen the role of the CPPCC as a specialized consultative
body

With a focus on implementing General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important
ideas on strengthening and improving CPPCC work and the guidelines of the
Central Conference on CPPCC Work, we will take follow-up action to study

and review the innovations that we have made in various aspects of our work
since the 18th CPC National Congress. We will deepen our studies on major
theoretical and practical issues relating to the CPPCC, and work hard to make

fresh progress in refining the substance of consultation, diversifying its forms,
improving its rules, fostering a culture of consultation, and building our
capacity for consultation.
We will develop think tanks with CPPCC features that are geared toward

practical application. We will offer advice on the implementation of
guidelines for strengthening and improving the work of municipal- and

county-level CPPCC committees in the new era. We will step up theoretical
studies on the CPPCC and hold a seminar on the role of the CPPCC in
whole-process people’s democracy.
We will continue to hold in-depth consultations on the handling of

proposals, intensify oversight on the handling of key proposals, and hold
meetings to commend best proposals and outstanding departments that do a

good job in handling them. We will improve the quality of our work related
to CPPCC bulletins, conference speeches, cultural and historical materials,
and news and publicity.
In line with China’s overall diplomatic agenda, we will actively conduct

friendly exchanges with other countries. Acting on the plans and
requirements of the CPC Central Committee, we will ensure strict discipline

enforcement in conjunction with the formation of the next National
Committee of the CPPCC.
With the goal of building the National Committee into a model body, we
will promote good conduct and uphold integrity, and cultivate a contingent

of competent and professional officials suited to the demands of the new era.
