China will continue to serve as a force for peace, stability and justice, a Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Friday, highlighting the significance of the 15th Five-Year Plan to the world.
Chinese lawmakers on Thursday approved the outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) for national economic and social development at the closing meeting of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress.
The spokesman, Guo Jiakun, said at a regular press briefing that the new five-year plan is both a blueprint for advancing Chinese modernization and an invitation to all countries to pursue common modernization together.
"China will remain committed to high-quality development, expand high-standard opening up, and accelerate self-reliance in science and technology. We will continue to serve as the world's factory while striving to become the world's market. China's development of new quality productive forces will inject stable and predictable new momentum into the global economy," Guo said.
"The more turbulent and complex the international situation becomes, the greater the need for all countries, major powers in particular, to uphold moral principles and shoulder more responsibilities. A China that develops fast, advances steadily, and stays on course responds to the call of our times and represents an opportunity for the world. During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China will remain committed to building a community with a shared future for mankind, and stand firm as the world's most important force for peace, stability and justice. We will work hand in hand with all countries for win-win cooperation and make greater contributions to human progress and development," he added.
