Premier Li Keqiang's take on China's economic growth received the most attention from foreign correspondents who attended his annual news conference in Beijing on Wednesday.
China's foreign policy has undergone several significant transformations since the early 1950s.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang will hold a press conference to wrap up this year's session of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top parliamentary body, on March 16.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang delivered the government work report and 13th Five-Year Plan on March 5 at the current two sessions, which had outlined the status of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and Macao Special Administrative Region.
Speaking at the annual session of the National People's Congress (NPC), China's top parliamentary body, Premier Li Keqiang said that the nation wants to eliminate poverty by 2020. With more than 70 million Chinese living below the poverty line—an annual income of 2,300 yuan (about $350)—it appears an extremely difficult target to reach.
On March 8, at the press conference on China's foreign policy and foreign relations, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi mentioned the fruits the "Belt and Road" initiative.
The only turbulence ahead for the Asia Pacific is the yet incalculable fallout of the ongoing economic slowdown. Here is where the Belt & Road initiative can play a crucial stabilizing role. China can be a regional stabilizer through a soft power projection of its Belt and Road initiative.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at today's press conference that China, as a responsible emerging country, has gained major achievements in diplomacy over the last year, along with winning stronger international recognition and praise.
