During a visit to Chongqing Municipality, Chinese President Xi Jinping touted the development concepts of innovation, coordination, green development, opening up and sharing. He believed they have been derived from domestic and international experiences and based on analysis of the economic and social development trends and relevant laws.

He said the new development concepts, which are focused in the nation's 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), would serve as a baton, leading the direction, indicating the path and opening a new evolution frontier.

The whole society should implement the central leadership's requirements, put actions in line with new development concepts to uphold innovation, emphasize coordination, advocate green development, cultivate openness and encourage more sharing.

2016 is the first year for China to implement the 13th Five-Year Plan. People should work hard together, so as to kick off for a good start to lay a solid foundation for completing the building of a moderately prosperous society by 2020.
