Meeting begins on 5-year plan

THE 17th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China opened its fifth plenary session in Beijing yesterday to discuss the nation's next five-year development plan.

The four-day meeting will review proposals for the country's 12th five-year program (2011-2015) on national economic and social development. The period will be critical for building a moderately prosperous society, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee said last month.

It will be a time of difficult issues for deepening the process of reform and opening-up, while accelerating the transformation of the nation's economic development pattern, said the announcement.

At the plenary session, committee members are expected to analyze domestic and international situations and set the guidelines and key measures for the next five years.

A draft version of the proposals for the 12th five-year program was offered to some deputies to the CPC's 17th National Congress and organizations outside the Party. The document was revised based on their suggestions.

Sources with the CPC said the proposals, accumulated from throughout the Party and other organizations, will become a guideline document for China's continued reform and opening-up process as well as socialist modernization.
