Lin Qingzhi, deputy secretary of the Standing Committee, Tibet's top legislative body, said the coming session will cap the work of the region during the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20) period. Officials will discuss development plans for the coming five years, together with delegations from all levels of society in the region.

 

"We will make sure to have a good start for the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) because it has a special and significant meaning for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the region's 70th anniversary since peaceful liberation, Lin said.
