BEIJING, March 14 (Xinhuanet) -- China's leading newspaper, the People's
Daily, carries an editorial on Wednesday, hailing the successful conclusion of
the annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's Parliament.
Approximately 3,000 deputies at the annual session heard and endorsed
Premier Wen Jiabao's government work report and the country's newest five-year
development blueprint on Tuesday.
Describing the session as "a democratic, truth-seeking, pragmatic, united
and inspiring one," the editorial says that the session will greatly promote the
implementation of the scientific concept of development, fast and wholesome
social and economic development, the country's reforms and opening to the
outside world, as well as the modernization drive in China.
This year marks the beginning of the implementation of China's 11th
Five-Year Program (2006-2010). The country should make tangible efforts in
adopting a scientific approach to command economic and social development, the
editorial says.
The 10-day Fourth Session of the 10th National People's Congress (NPC) ran
from March 5 to March 14.
