BEIJING, Nov. 22 (Xinhua) -- China's top political advisor Wang Yang on Tuesday called for efforts to improve the work evaluation system for political advisors so as to boost the efficiency of the performance of their duties.

Wang, chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, made the remarks while presiding over a meeting of the Chairpersons' Council of the CPPCC National Committee.

The meeting heard a report on the analysis of performance statistics from the 13th CPPCC National Committee members, as well as reports on democratic oversight work delivered by a number of committees under the CPPCC.
