It will also formulate programs of action and overarching policies to meet China's new development goals on the journey ahead in the new era and the new expectations of the people.

The world is keeping a close eye on how the week-long meeting will map out a blueprint for China's growth, and how the country will further contribute to world peace and development.

ACHIEVEMENTS IN NEW ERA

Since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, China has made historic achievements and shifts in economic and social development, successfully promoting and expanding a Chinese-style modernization. Over the past decade, the CPC has led the Chinese people in striving for this great success, demonstrating the strong vitality of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Speaking highly of China's great achievements in the past 10 years, overseas experts and observers have expressed their high expectations for China's bigger role in global affairs after the 20th CPC National Congress, which is expected to write a new chapter for socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

The past decade was extremely extraordinary for China as the country has achieved significant success in its development, said Xulio Rios, director of the Observatory of Chinese Politics in Spain.

China has eliminated extreme poverty and made remarkable achievements in such fields as science and technology and environmental protection, Rios said. He added that as China's role in global affairs becomes increasingly important, the global society has great expectation for the 20th CPC National Congress.

Ehecatl Lazaro, researcher of Mexican Center for Economic and Social Studies, said that under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, China has become one of the countries with an important influence on the international economic, political and social development in the 21st century.

The decisions made at the 20th CPC National Congress will have great significance for the whole world, including Latin America, Lazaro said.

Noting that the meeting will review the CPC's valuable experience in state governance, Randy Alonso, director general of popular Cuban website cubadebate.cu, said that the experience will not only help embark on a new journey for China's growth, but also continue to push for world development.

He said China's vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind, and the Global Development Initiative (GDI) and the Global Security Initiative (GSI) proposed by the country will remain important in international cooperation and global governance.

Reviewing China's achievements in the past decade, Tang Zhimin, director of China ASEAN Studies at the Bangkok-based Panyapiwat Institute of Management, highlighted China's adherence to the people-centered development philosophy, the eradication of poverty for nearly 100 million rural residents, the building of the world's largest education system, and social security and healthcare system.

He said these achievements have made China a model in developing countries, adding that with the 20th CPC National Congress taking place, ASEAN countries are highly interested in how China's future economic and social progress will bring more certainty to global development.
