Chinese State Councilor Liu Yandong said in Nottingham in England Thursday that China would continue to apply the experience gained in its 30-year reform and opening up drive and adhere to a scientific, peaceful, harmonious and coordinated development.
Speaking at an international forum for contemporary Chinese studies organized by the University of Nottingham on Nov. 19-21, Liu briefed her host on China's profound changes after the 30 years' reform and opening up drive, saying the Chinese economy has already embarked on a track of sustained and rapid growth.
"It is a path that will lead 1.3 billion people to greater prosperity, democracy and harmony on the basis of the wisdom and strength of the Chinese people.
"We are clearly aware that China remains a developing country faced with the challenges of a large population, weak foundation and low level of productivity.
"China still has a long way to go to realize modernization and the objective of a prosperous society for her 1.3 billion people by 2020."
Liu will leave for Switzerland on Saturday to attend the 48th International Education Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Geneva.
