After a 78-day delay, China's parliament begins its annual session this Sunday

It is expected that they will consider measures to stimulate the economy after the coronavirus pandemic.

China's National People's Congress will begin on Friday in Beijing, in the magnificent Great Hall of the People, as the clearest sign that life is returning to normal after the coronavirus pandemic, reports Reuters.

However, President Xi Jinping faces major challenges as his long-term economic goals are threatened, there is an urgent need to revive growth and reduce large job losses.

All eyes at the opening will be on Prime Minister Li Keqiang, who will present a report on the work in 2020. Reuters reports that the Chinese economy in the January-March period declined by 6,8 percent compared to a year earlier.

Delegates are likely to discuss the next steps in controlling the coronavirus and how to prevent a second wave of the epidemic.

To reduce the risk of coronavirus infection, 3.000 delegates from across the country are expected to maintain physical distance, according to Chinese state media.
