Meetings of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and National People’s Congress begin on Wednesday and Thursday respectively
The annual session of the country’s top political advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), will commence on Wednesday, followed by the National People’s Congress (NPC), the country’s legislature, on Thursday.
The two major political gatherings are expected to deliberate and approve the full text of the 15th five-year plan, which will set the country’s development road map through 2030.
Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office (HKMAO), is scheduled to meet local delegates in a closed-door session on Tuesday, the South China Morning Post has learned.
Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu will also travel to Beijing on Tuesday to attend the NPC’s opening meeting. He earlier said that Hong Kong would formulate its first five-year plan to align with the national one.
