A press conference will be held in Beijing on Tuesday to brief on systematic implementation of a package of incremental policies intended to solidly promote economic growth, structural optimization and sustained momentum of development in China, the State Council Information Office (SCIO) announced on Sunday.

The SCIO said the press conference will start at 10:00 on the day.

Attending and addressing the press conference will be leading officials of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) -- the top economic planner of China, including Director Zheng Shanjie, and Deputy Directors Liu Sushe, Zhao Chenxin, Li Chunlin and Zheng Bei.

China's Shenzhou-23 crewed spaceship blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the country's northwest on Sunday, sending three astronauts to its orbiting space station.

The spaceship, atop a Long March-2F carrier rocket, lifted off from the launch site at 23:08 Beijing Time (15:08 GMT).

The crew members consist of mission commander Zhu Yangzhu, and fellow astronauts Zhang Zhiyuan and Lai Ka-ying, who is also the first astronaut from China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

In another notable first, one of the crew members is set to undertake a year-long stay aboard the space station, double the usual duration of previous Shenzhou missions.

After entering orbit, the Shenzhou-23 spaceship will perform a fast automated rendezvous and docking with the radial port of the space station core module Tianhe, forming a combination of three modules and three spacecraft.

Shenzhou-23 marks the 40th flight of China's manned spaceflight program and the seventh manned flight mission since the Tiangong space station entered its application and development phase in late 2022.
