China is accelerating the implementation of a package of incremental policies to strive toward achieving its annual economic and social development goals, Ding said.

Noting that China's economic advantages in various areas are being consolidated and enhanced, and the development momentum stimulated by reform and innovation is getting stronger and stronger, Ding said that those will effectively promote the stability and long-term development of China's economy.

Reiterating that China remains firmly committed to supporting economic globalization and will continue to be more open to the outside world and eager to share development achievements with the world, Ding expressed his hope that all members of the advisory board will continue to actively provide insights and support the development of China's economy and education sector.
