Foreign diplomats in China have hailed the country's development blueprint for the next five years starting from 2021 and said that China's development will create opportunities for other countries amid the global economic recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cypriot Ambassador to China Antonis Toumazis, who attended a briefing in Beijing on Monday on the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, held at the end of last month, said China has got a "detailed and ambitious" blueprint for its development in the next five years, which will help promote world economic recovery while enhancing its socioeconomic growth.

The world's major economies, such as the United States and the European Union, should work together with China to get the global economy out of recession at an early date, Toumazis said.

The Party meeting attracted international attention as it adopted the CPC Central Committee's proposals for the formulation of the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Range Objectives Through the Year 2035.

The policy document laid out specific targets for China to basically become a modern socialist country by 2035, and it stressed the need to step up the building of the "dual-circulation" development pattern in the next five years given the changes in the domestic and international situation.
