By the end of 2005, a total of 760 million Chinese people got employed and
the unemployment rate was controlled under 4.3 percent. During the 10th
Five-Year Development Plan period (2000-2005), 42 million people in urban areas
and 40 million migrant workers found jobs.
The three-day 26th session of the 10th NPC Standing Committee opened on
Monday.
Lawmakers on Monday started deliberating a treaty, which defines the point
where the national borders of China, Vietnam and Laos meet. The treaty, which
was signed last October by the foreign ministries of the three countries, is
expected to be passed at the legislative session.
Lawmakers also deliberated drafts of the agenda, name list of the presidium
and secretary-general, and name list of non-voting delegates for the 10th NPC's
fifth plenary session which will begin on March 5, as well as the draft annual
work report of NPC Standing Committee.
