In a press briefing on China’s 15th Five-Year Plan and bilateral relations held yesterday, the Ambassador said that the adoption of the Doha Political Declaration at the Second World Summit for Social Development has made significant contributions to advancing global social development and enhancing the common well-being of humanity.

“The event also demonstrated Qatar’s exceptional capabilities in hosting conference and its steadfast support for the cause of global social development. I hereby express my appreciation and congratulations to Qatar for the successful hosting of the Summit.”

Xiaolin said that China’s 15th Five-Year Plan sets the goal of China’s per capita Gross Domestic Production (GDP) reaching the level of moderately developed countries by 2035.

He said that H E Han Zheng, Vice President of China, attended the Second World Summit for Social Development in Qatar upon invitation, and delivered a speech at the general debate of the Summit. “He noted that the concept of building a community with a shared future for humanity, as well as the Global Development Initiative (GDI), the Global Security Initiative (GSI), the Global Civilization Initiative (GCI), and the Global Governance Initiative (GGI), all proposed by President Xi Jinping, have charted the course for advancing global social development.”
