May 25, 2010 -- China's top political advisor Jia Qinglin has called for more efforts from political advisors for the development and stability in Xinjiang and Tibet.

"The Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) ... has a significant responsibility to promote leapfrog development and lasting stability for Xinjiang and Tibet," Jia said Monday at a meeting of the 11th National Committee of the CPPCC, the country's top political advisory body.

Jia, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee, called on the political advisors to study the strategic plans for Xinjiang and Tibet, which were outlined last week, and work to boost the two regions' development and stability.

Also at the meeting, Jia asked the political advisors to provide more proposals as the country is making its 12th five-year (2011-2015) plan.
