'Active yet prudent' way ahead

CHINA'S top political adviser Jia Qinglin yesterday vowed to "actively yet prudently" carry forward democratic supervision and contribute to the transformation of the country's economic development pattern.

Jia made the remarks in a report delivered at the opening meeting of the Fourth Session of the 11th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's top political advisory body, which opened in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing yesterday.

In the work report, Jia pledged that the CPPCC will give top priority to performing its functions to promoting scientific development and accelerating the transformation of China's economic development pattern in 2011.

The CPPCC will take as its "binding duty" to promote social harmony and stability in 2011 and participate in the deliberation and administration of state affairs in a practical and effective way, said Jia, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee.

He said the CPPCC will integrate targets set forth in the 12th Five-Year Plan for 2011-2015 period with its key tasks this year and properly balance maintaining steady and rapid economic development, restructuring the economy and managing inflation expectations.

The CPPCC will continue to pay attention to and improve the people's welfare, Jia said, adding it will also focus on issues such as strengthening and making innovations in social administration and making it more scientific.

He said the CPPCC will pay closer attention to the economic and social development of ethnic minority areas. "The CPPCC will continue to intensify the campaign to bring prosperity to border areas and their residents," he said.

Jia also promised to broaden contacts with other political parties, organizations, social groups, influential figures and the public in Taiwan.

"Over the past year, the CPPCC ... has made important contributions to responding to a variety of risks and challenges, promoting sound and rapid economic and social development, scientifically formulating the 12th Five-Year Plan," Jia said.

The annual session of CPPCC National Committee this year is scheduled to conclude on March 13. More than 2,000 CPPCC National Committee members, from across the country, will discuss major issues concerning the nation's development.

Top Communist Party of China and state leaders, including President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao, attended the opening meeting.
