The Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the country's top advisory body, held a meeting Friday to discuss the agenda for the upcoming CPPCC annual session in March.

Jia Qinglin, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee and member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Political Bureau, presided over the opening ceremony of the three-day meeting.

During the meeting, senior political advisors will set an agenda for the third session of the 11th CPPCC National Committee, discuss and approve a work report for the Standing Committee of the CPPCC National Committee and a namelist for the secretariat of the March session.
