BEIJING, Sept. 6 -- The key to the proposal work lies in quality of proposals, not the quantity, China's top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng said Wednesday.

Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), made the remarks when meeting representatives of the proposals and units rewarded by the 12th CPPCC National Committee.

Putting forward proposals is a significant part of CPPCC work and reflects the requests and views of society, he said.

The proposals should be in line with the fundamental policies of the country, and not only represent the demands of the people, but feature feasible advice, Yu continued.

He asked political advisors to follow the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee's decisions and deployment of the people's political consultative work, and work together to raise the quality of proposals.

A total of 240 proposals and 45 sponsoring units were recognized at the commendation conference of the 12th CPPCC National Committee on Wednesday morning.

From the Seventh CPPCC National Committee, a commendation conference has been held every five years to reward outstanding proposals and units during the tenure of every CPPCC national committee.
