CPC leadership holds meeting on discussing issues related to 15th Five-Year Plan formulation

The fourth plenary session of the 20th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee will be held in Beijing from Oct 20 to 23, according to a decision made at a CPC Central Committee Political Bureau meeting on Monday.

The meeting discussed major issues related to the formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for national economic and social development.

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, chaired the meeting.

The Political Bureau heard a report regarding the opinions solicited from in and outside the CPC on the CPC Central Committee's proposals for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan, and decided that the document will be revised based on the discussion at Monday's meeting and submitted to the fourth plenary session for review.

The meeting emphasized that the opinion-gathering process fully promoted democracy and drew on collective wisdom, with all regions, departments and sectors acknowledging the draft proposal.

It was highlighted that economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period must adhere to the Party's overall leadership, and adopt a people-centered approach, to ensure the benefits of modernization are shared more broadly and equitably by all.

The meeting also stressed the importance of high-quality development, with a focus on developing new quality productive forces, deepening reforms, and expanding high-level opening up.

It also emphasized the need of combining an efficient market with effective government, coordinate development and security, and effectively prevent and resolve risks.

Upholding and strengthening the Party's overall leadership is the fundamental guarantee for advancing Chinese modernization, the meeting noted. It is a must to continuously advance full and rigorous Party self-governance and to enhance the Party's capacity for leading economic and social development.
