BEIJING, March 5 (Reuters) - China's 10th National People's Congress (NPC) opened at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Monday with an address by Premier Wen Jiabao.

China will do more to save energy and cut pollution in 2007 while striving to keep its economy humming following four straight years of double-digit growth, Wen will say, according to excerpts of which were seen by Reuters.

Around 3,000 delegates will attend the NPC, China's parliament, which is generally seen as a rubber stamp for the ruling Communist Party
