China will convene its most important political meetings on 4th March, known as the Two Sessions (Lianghui) joining two main political bodies of China, the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Over the course of a week, China’s plans and policies relating to economy, military, trade, diplomacy, the environment among others will be outlined. One of the main points on the agenda is to approve the 2021-25 14th Five-Year Plan.
This event will provide business leaders and decision makers with an important insight into the implications the Two Sessions will have on their businesses, the economy and the future of China.
