GZ's CPPCC Launches the Consulting Service, Boosting Interaction between Government and Members of the CPPCC
Guangzhou's two conferences are now being held, but what new developments can we expect? The ongoing fourth session of the 11th Guangzhou's Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), which opened on Sunday(April 12th), launched the consulting service for members of the CPPCC. More from our reporters Wang Jianping and Zhao Zhaoyi.
Members of the CPPCC welcomed such a move, but believe the practice could last longer.
"The consulting practice provides a platform to boost interaction. But only one-hour was allocated, which is a bit short. We hope the consulting time can be longer."
Yang Liu, Director General of Guangzhou Environmental Protection Bureau also appreciates such an innovation.
"The consulting service facilitates interaction. We can effectively improve our work from their appeals, suggestions, demands and reminders."
