It urged the political advisors to put people first, focus on the development of social undertakings and the improvement of people's well-being, and contribute strength and wisdom to help safeguard China's social harmony and stability.
CPPCC members from ethnic minority groups and religious circles were asked to work harder to promote ethnic unity and common prosperity of all ethnic groups. Efforts should be made to facilitate "leapfrog social and economic development and lasting peace and stability" in Tibet, the resolution said.
It noted that Hong Kong and Macao had maintained overall prosperity and stability while actively dealing with the global financial crisis over the past year.
"The CPPCC supports members from Hong Kong and Macao to work actively to improve Hong Kong and Macao's international economic competitiveness and their abilities to achieve sustainable development, to safeguard social harmony and stability in the two regions, to enhance their exchange and cooperation with the Chinese inland, and to facilitate peaceful development of cross-Straits ties between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan," it said.
Hailing major progress made in cross-Straits ties in the past year, the resolution called for more efforts to expand exchanges with relevant parties, social organizations and the people in Taiwan, to further contribute to the peaceful development of cross-Straits ties.
It also vowed to enhance the CPPCC's working ability through reform and innovation.
The 11th CPPCC National Committee currently has 2,237 members, and 2,113 of them attended the closing meeting of the annual session that kicked off on March 3.
The CPPCC is a patriotic united front organization of the Chinese people, serving as a key mechanism for multi-party cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and a major manifestation of socialist democracy.
Members of the CPPCC are representatives of the CPC and non-Communist parties, personages without party affiliation, and representatives of people's organizations, ethnic minorities and various social strata.
The CPPCC also has the representation of compatriots of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, returned overseas Chinese, and specially invited people.
