BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) -- The ongoing "two sessions" in Beijing hold great significance not only for China's own development but also for other nations interested in understanding China's future growth trajectory and global impact. The "two sessions" refer to the annual sessions of China's National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), which are the country's top legislature and national political advisory body, respectively.

-- "China's path to modernization reflects Chinese wisdom, Chinese civilization and history," said Keith Bennett, a long-term China specialist and vice chair of Britain's 48 Group Club. -- China always keeps the world's development and peace in mind in its modernization process.
The 2023 National People's Congress (NPC), China's highest body of state power, looks back to review and report, while looking ahead to formulate and implement. Although this is an annual event, it has special significance this year, setting in motion policies and programs of the 20th CPC National Congress, which provides the blueprint for the next few decades.
