Draft list of future officials approved

China's top leaders have adopted a draft list of proposed future government officeholders at a meeting ahead of a legislative session that will see the election of a new slate of top officials.

A draft of an administrative reform plan to be discussed at next week's National People's Congress session was also passed at yesterday's meeting of the Communist Party's Central Committee.

The annual NPC meeting will elect a new state president as well as the head of the NPC and government ministers.

Urbanization, emission cuts and improved public services are also expected to be among the themes of the session.

The list will be recommended to the presidium of the first annual session of the 12th National People's Congress, according to a communique issued after the plenary session.

The first annual session of the 12th NPC, the national legislature, will begin next Tuesday.

The CPC Central Committee also adopted a list of candidates for the leadership of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chose to recommend it to the presidium of the first session of the 12th CPPCC National Committee, which is due to begin on Sunday, the communique said.

Measures including tight controls of conference expenses and vehicle use have been detailed for the two sessions.

Members of the NPC presidium are asked to take coaches with deputies. There should be no flowers in hotel rooms used by deputies.

Banquets and gala events are also prohibited during the meetings, and even small gifts and local delicacies are not allowed to be exchanged.

The CPPCC and government departments such as the ministries of finance and civil affairs have also carried out a spate of similar measures to echo the Party's frugality call during the sessions.

The sessions will elect or approve the appointment of the country's new leadership and executive organs, providing institutional and personnel guarantees for the country's development.
