New NPC members told to be honest

NPC Chairman Wu Bangguo yesterday urged newly elected legislators to be honest and incorruptible while performing their duties over the next five years.

"We're elected and trusted by the people. To serve them and protect their rights and interests is the departure point and goal of all our work," Wu told nearly 400 members of the NPC Standing Committee and NPC specific committees at the first session of the 11th NPC Standing Committee.

"We must subject ourselves, our families and staff members to strict discipline," he said.
