This year marks the beginning of China's 15th Five-Year Plan—a key milestone that has captured the world's attention. Many foreign journalists who came to cover the "two sessions"—the sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC)—shared their concerns and expectations regarding this new plan in interviews.

Armenian journalist Khachaturyan traveled to China specifically to cover the "two sessions." His goal was not simply to gather news, but to present the Armenian audience with a comprehensive picture of China's development. He emphasized that this year marks the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan. "I understand how important this is for China, and I will make every effort to cover the events as fully as possible, so that the people of Armenia can learn about China's future development prospects and the new opportunities that will open up for our bilateral cooperation."

Indian Journalist: Artificial Intelligence Takes Collaboration to New Heights

Sitaram Mewati, editor-in-chief of the Indian newspaper "Mumbai Messenger," noted China's 15th Five-Year Plan's emphasis on artificial intelligence and big data, believing this will take cooperation between China and India to a new level. He dismissed fears that "artificial intelligence will lead to unemployment," arguing that AI can provide comprehensive assistance—from obtaining medical information to assisting people of all ages in their daily lives. He predicts that robots will not take jobs, but will help free people from routine tasks, especially in caring for the elderly. Such technological advances will benefit all countries, including India.

Russian journalist: Russian-Chinese cooperation in the Arctic and carbon technologies

Svetlana Zadera, a journalist for Rossiyskaya Gazeta, is most interested in Russian-Chinese cooperation in Arctic scientific research. She noted, "For me, the most interesting topic is scientific exploration of the Arctic. This requires new technologies, new developments, and constant modernization."

She emphasized that China's 15th Five-Year Plan includes the topic of low-carbon development and related technologies. "Climate change concerns us all. In China and Russia, we are already feeling it very strongly. We can't stop it; it's already happening, but we can adapt to it and slow down the process. Using carbon-neutral technologies allows us to achieve this. China has taken this work on board. This is a very inspiring story," the journalist said.

Mauritian Journalist: Waiting for a Place in Cooperation under the New Five-Year Plan

Mauritius National Television correspondent Satyen Bhurut noted the over 50-year-old friendly relationship between China and Mauritius. China has provided Mauritius with significant assistance in infrastructure development, commercial opportunities, medical training, and construction projects. He has high expectations for the 15th Five-Year Plan: "I hope that as China develops cooperation with countries around the world during the new Five-Year Plan, Mauritius will be able to take its rightful place among China's partner countries."

From technological innovation to green and low-carbon development, from bilateral cooperation to global governance, foreign journalists saw in the 15th Five-Year Plan a clear path for China's development and bright prospects for shared opportunities for all countries. As an Armenian journalist noted, a comprehensive understanding of China's future vision is a starting point for countries around the world in exploring new opportunities for cooperation.
