Over the years, the foreign envoys and journalists are always a favorite subject for Chinese photographers during the "two sessions". The "two sessions" refer to the annual meetings of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top legislature, and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top political advisory body.

An increasing number of foreigners have appeared at the scenes of the "two sessions" and news about China has come to draw increasing worldwide attention, with the development of China's diplomacy and the reform and opening up.
