BEIJING, March 9 -- A work report of China's top legislature on Wednesday lauded "full and effective enforcement" of the country's Constitution in the past year, as the world's second largest economy presses ahead on its rule of law drive.

"Ensuring the full enforcement of the Constitution represents the most important and fundamental task in building China into a socialist rule of law country," read a report to be delivered by National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee Chairman Zhang Dejiang on Wednesday afternoon.
