China's 15th Five-Year Plan is crucial to the development of the Asia-Pacific region and the world through China's mutually beneficial collaboration with regional and global partners, a Cambodian legislator said.
PHNOM PENH, March 12 (Xinhua) -- China's "two sessions" not only set a clear roadmap for China's socio-economic development but also bring fresh momentum to global growth, a senior Cambodian legislator has said.
"The 'two sessions' have provided practical pathways through China's policy priorities, governance approaches and strategic visions," Suos Yara, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Information of the Cambodian National Assembly, adding that the annual "two sessions" offer insightful updates on China's policies and future directions.
This year, the "two sessions" deliberated China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030), which will serve as a strategic compass for implementing China's development roadmap, said Yara.
The plan is also crucial to the development of the Asia-Pacific region and the world through China's mutually beneficial collaboration with regional and global partners, he said.
The legislator hailed Chinese modernization as a model for the Global South, adding that China is committed to South-South cooperation and is an important partner for other Global South countries.
The China-proposed Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, the Global Civilization Initiative, and the Global Governance Initiative underscore a vision of global development grounded in a non-hierarchical framework, Yara said.
During the "two sessions," coordinated approaches were also laid out to advancing democracy and the rule of law. "It generates a strong momentum in strengthening socialist democracy that prioritizes inclusivity, fairness and justice in the management of China's politics and economy."
Yara criticized Western democratic models that privilege procedural legitimacy, seemingly competitive elections, or party alternation, while China emphasizes performance and results, focusing on economic growth, social stability, poverty reduction, and long-term development for the people.
"China's democracy promotes what is described as a whole process of people's participation embedded across policymaking, consultation, implementation, supervision and feedback," Yara said. ■
