China's newest municipality of Chongqing is making preparations for the third annual meeting of the Association of Asian Parliaments for Peace (AAPP) in mid-April.

The security department of the municipal government has worked out a thorough security plan for the meeting and public security forces have been well deployed.

Some residents have been mobilized to help keep order although the city is already very safe.

The annual meeting of the AAPP is the biggest international conference to be hosted by Chongqing which became a municipality just five years ago.

The local government believes that the meeting is a good chance to show the great changes the city has undergone over recent years to the outside world.

"As a common citizen of Chongqing, I feel very proud that the city can hold such an important international conference," said Jiang Zhengxiang, a businessman, adding that the convening of the

meeting will enhance the city's reputation and bring about more business opportunities.

The AAPP, a regional organization representing parliaments from countries in Asia and the south Pacific as well as sovereign countries with territories in Asia, will launch the meeting in Beijing on April 16 and then move to the western Chinese city the next day.

The organization was formally established in September 1999 in Dacca, capital of Bangladesh, and has 36 member countries.
