The Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the CPC to be held in October 2015 will focus on major issues with regard to national economic and social development during the 13th Five-Year Plan period.

The 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee will hold its fifth plenary session in Beijing in October.

China will continue its focus on economic development and maintain the "medium-high growth rate" of its economy, China's top leaders said.

Strategic industries related to issues ranging from the reform of State-owned enterprises to industrial upgrading and greener growth are expected to get a boost under the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-20) despite a likely lower overall growth target for the period, analysts said.
