CPC journal to publish Xi's speech on development

BEIJING - An influential journal of the Communist Party of China (CPC) will publish President Xi Jinping's speech at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee in October.

Excerpts of the speech, which touched on China's development, reforms and CPC governance, will be published in the January issue of Qiushi, which means "seeking truth."

In the speech, Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, noted the need to guard against risks and proposed new development ideas, or "innovation, coordination, green development, opening up and sharing," to achieve a moderately prosperous society.

Qiushi said publishing the speech will help guide the enaction and implementation of the country's 13th Five-year Plan and other proposals from the meeting.
