BEIJING -- The 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the country's national political advisory body, held its 12th Chairperson's Council meeting in Beijing on Wednesday.

Wang Huning, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, presided over the meeting and delivered remarks.

Wang stressed the need to guide political advisors to align their thinking and actions with the sound assessment that the CPC Central Committee has made over economic development and its decisions and plans regarding the economic work for the coming year.

He called for more advisory contributions to the high-quality development of the economy and the work relating to agriculture, rural development and farmers.

Efforts should be made to organize political advisors to conduct in-depth investigation and research to help pool efforts for promoting high-standard opening up and building a community with a shared future for humanity, he added.
