China's top advisory body has decided in Beijing Saturday to hold a meeting next month to discuss proposals on the Eleventh Five-year Plan for 2006 to 2010.

Jia Qinglin, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said at a Friday meeting that CPPCC standing committee will hold in October its 11th meeting, which will focus on discussing national economy and social development for the next four years.

Studying on proposals of national economic and social development for the Eleventh Five-year Plan period is very crucial to further open-up, coordinated social development and all-round social progress as the period is the critical time to build up a well-off society, said Jia.

He said CPPCC will set forth more valuable views and suggestions for reference of the Party Central Committee and the State Council in making major policy decisions.
