Entering the new era, the province will take good advantage of the timing that marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening-up and the country's Belt and Road Initiative, and focus on opening-up to make further breakthroughs, she said.

"Zhejiang will make its effort to create new advantages in opening up to both the country and the world and write a new chapter of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era," she said.

Deputy Secretary of the Hangzhou Committee of the CPC Xu Liyi, who also is the city's mayor, said the concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind" provides Chinese wisdom and solutions to tackling common challenges of human society, promoting world peace and development, and facilitating common prosperity.

Hangzhou has made continuous efforts in deepening reform and opening-up, promoting innovation-driven development and serving the Belt and Road Initiative in the past few years by constructing one of the country's bases of cross-border e-commerce and initiating collaborations with the 101 countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative. "We'll continue to contribute more Hangzhou wisdom, power and practices in promoting the formation of a new pattern of opening and shaping a community of a shared future," Xu said.

The concept of the community of a shared future for mankind, raised by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, has sparked widespread echoes from people around the world，said Zhou Shuchun, publisher and editor-in-chief of China Daily.

"As China moves into its New Era, I believe, the implications of the idea will be further revealed to the world, and inspire people from all over the world to actively participate in the endeavor of building a better world," Zhou said, adding that it also needs the active involvement on the part of youth.
