The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's advisory body, has shown its support for the recent resolution of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to build a harmonious socialist society.

At the latest session concluding on Monday of the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, members discussed the issue of building a harmonious society.

The CPC Central Committee held a plenary session last week, putting the construction of a socialist harmonious society at a "more prominent position" on its work agenda while adhering to economic development as its central task.

Jia Qinglin, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, urged CPPCC members to make full use of the advantages of the CPPCC and work more efficiently in the course of building a harmonious socialist society.
