Most NPC deputies spoke highly of the central government's work in 2013 and agreed to its plan for this year while putting forward some suggestions, said a statement issued after the presidium's meeting.

Executive chairpersons of the presidium drafted the resolution on the report based on lawmakers' opinions and a revised version by the State Council, the statement said.
