Hunan delegation attending the Fourth Session of China’s 12th National People's Congress (NPC) held its fourth plenary meeting on the afternoon of March 7, 2016, to review the “13th Five-Year” Plan (draft) in groups.

Director of Hunan delegation Xu Shousheng, Deputy Directors Du Jiahao and Xie Yong, together with other provincial leaders including Li Jiang, Lai Mingyong, Kang Weimin, You Quanrong, Zhao Yongping, and Huang Boyun, attended the meeting. Related central government department officials joined the group deliberation.

Hunan representatives believed that the plan should base itself on social realities, suits the country’s conditions, meets the people’s demands, and lay out pragmatic targets with detailed tasks. “It should fully demonstrate the new developing ideas of innovation, coordination, green development, opening-up and sharing, and be seen as an inspiring guide book for the people in all walks of life to move on”, said the deputies.

Sufferings of the people are highly concerned about by the central government. Therefore, such parts as people’s livelihood in the draft were also seriously discussed by representatives.
