BEIJING, March 14 (Xinhua) -- The People's Daily, the flagship newspaper of the Communist Party of China (CPC), will publish an editorial Tuesday that hails the successful conclusion of an annual session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature.
The NPC, or China's parliament, concluded its annual session on Monday by endorsing the country's 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015) for National Economic and Social Development and the government work report, which was delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao.
Nearly 3,000 deputies from across the country attended the annual session that was held from March 5 to 14.
