Chinese lawmakers will begin their annual session tomorrow in the country's capital, Beijing. Some three-thousand deputies, representing all walks of life, will have their voices heard over the next twelve days.
The spokesperson for this year's session of the National People's Congress, Fu Ying, has briefed the press on the key topics up for discussion.
She also took questions from reporters on a variety of key issues, including economic transformation, foreign policy, and key legislation.
Lawmakers will review a draft of the 13th Five-Year Development Plan. The plan is the blueprint for China's growth in the upcoming 5 years.
Fu said the plan has attracted a lot of international and domestic attention, as China faces greater downward economic growth pressure amid a sluggish world economy.
Fu said people are very interested in what plans, measures and investments China will undertake to achieve stable growth.
Last year, China's GDP grew by 6.9 percent, amid a number of economic structural changes. The growth target for 2016 will be unveiled by Premier Li Keqiang in his government work report, during the opening session of the NPC.
