An inspection group of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) stressed the importance to unswervingly adhere to the people's congress system and the system of regional autonomy of ethnic groups in Tibet Autonomous Region.
The people's congress system and the system of regional autonomy of ethnic groups have effectively guaranteed the rights of local people of all ethnic groups to be the masters of the region and to exert democratic rights, according to the NPC group.
The group stressed further enhancement of the work of people's congress to better serve local people.
The elections of local people's congresses at various levels will be completed from this winter to next spring. Efforts should be made to ensure smooth elections and safeguard the democratic rights of people of all ethnic groups in Tibet, the group said.
The NPC group also inspected operation of the Qinghai-Tibet railway and ecological environment situation along the railway. They also visited rural and pasture areas and examined the implementation of religious policies and protection of historical and cultural heritage sites in the region from August 4 to 11.
