BEIJING: The Seventh Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) opened in Beijing on Tuesday morning.

The session will discuss a draft report to be submitted to the 17th Party Congress by the 16th CPC Central Committee, a draft amendment to the CPC Constitution, and a draft work report of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection to be submitted to the Congress, according to an earlier meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee.

The Political Bureau decided at a meeting on August 28 to hold the 7th Plenum of the Central Committee on Tuesday, and to make a proposal at the plenum that the 17th National Congress convene in Beijing on October 15.

The Political Bureau discussed on September 17 the draft report to the 17th Party Congress and the draft amendment to the CPC Constitution, and decided to table the two improved drafts at the plenum.

The draft report to the Congress and the draft amendment to the Constitution have been proposed after taking opinions from Party leaders. Delegates to the Congress and the newly-elected delegates to the Party meet have expressed their opinions and suggestions. A new Central Committee and a Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will be elected at the Congress. — Xinhua
