SHANGHAI, May 10 (Xinhua) -- A five-day training session on local legislation kicked off in Shanghai on Monday, bringing together legislators from 15 provincial-level regions, as well as those from Beijing and Shanghai.
A total of 337 participants received training on the history of the Communist Party of China, the scope and limits of local legislative powers, the procedure and technical standards of local legislation, and the document recording and reviewing work, among others.
Constant efforts are needed to make legislators more professional, as well as to ensure that they are loyal to the Party, the country, the people and the law, said Xin Chunying, deputy secretary-general of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee.
The Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPC Standing Committee plans to hold two sessions this year to give such training to legislators of all local legislatures. Enditem
