The last batch of about 3,000 national legislators arrived in Chinese capital of Beijing on Tuesday afternoon for the annual parliamentary session slated from Thursday to March 15.

Preparation for the third session of the 12th National People's Congress (NPC) have been fulfilled, said the session's press center on Tuesday.
