12th Five Year Plan tells about China’s future development: Envoy
April 30th, 2011 - 5:36 pm ICT by ANIOttawa, April 30 (ANI): Chinese Ambassador to Canada Zhang Junsai has said that China’s 12th Five Year Plan tells people about the orientation of the country’s future development.
In an event held by the Chinese Embassy to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Canada-China Friendship Society of Ottawa (CCFS-Ottawa), Zhang said the three goals of the plan are to improve Chinese people’s livelihood, uplift China’s overall national strength and upgrade China’s outlook.
Zhang said China needs to create much more social wealth as the growth needs more balance, coordination and sustainability, Xinhua reports.
“We want to see happier and better life for all Chinese. We want to make sure that the benefit of our development is shared by all, not by some. We will guarantee that local and central governments will do better in serving people’s interests,” the ambassador said.
In doing so, China will set aside more money for improving social care services, raise the ratio of income to the GDP by 10 percent over the next three to five years, and ensure that all citizens will have access to a good education, decent income, quality health care, pension and affordable housing, he added.
He also said that on the economic front, the 12th Five Year Plan is about upgrading China’s growth model and economic structure. (ANI)
