'Pathway' links media to ministers

Carpet leading to meeting hall is 'an important channel for releasing news'

More top officials will appear on the ministers' "pathway" to respond to social concerns during the two sessions of China's top legislature and political advisory body this year, the meetings' media center said in a statement released on Thursday.

When the fifth plenary session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference opened on Friday, six ministerial-level officials answered questions covering various topics, including education and civil aviation, on the pathway from the Great Hall of the People's north gate to the meeting hall.
