NPC and Standing Committee have key responsibilities

All of the deputies to the 13th National People's Congress - 2,980 - have arrived in Beijing for the top legislature's first plenary session, which starts on Monday.

The deputies, who are responsible to the people and subject to their oversight, will review a number of key reports, such as the annual work reports of the central government, the NPC Standing Committee, the top court and the top procuratorate, as well as the national fiscal budget.

This year, they will also deliberate on a draft amendment to the Constitution and the draft national supervision law, according to an agenda released earlier.
