BEIJING, March 10 (Xinhua) -- World media are keeping their eyes on the work report delivered Monday by China's top legislator Wu Bangguo, particularly his remarks concerning the system of the top legislative body.

Singapore's leading Chinese-language newspaper Lianhe Zaobao said Wu stressed that the people's congresses oversee the work of the government, the courts and procuratorates, but this does not mean they are confrontational or create difficulties for the parties they oversee.

"A key task for the NPC is to improve supervision to ensure implementation of major policy decisions and successful accomplishment of this year's tasks for economic and social development," the newspaper quoted Wu as saying in its article.

News agencies also paid attention to Wu's report.

British Reuters said Wu told delegates at the annual National People's Congress (NPC) meeting they must maintain "the correct political orientation."
