BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) — The gross domestic product (GDP) growth target set in the draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development (2026-2030) fully reflects a clear focus on high-quality development by integrating quantitative requirements into a qualitative framework, Zheng Bei, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), said at a press conference on Saturday.

The draft outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan proposes to keep China's GDP growth within a reasonable range over the next five years and set its annual targets according to specific conditions, so as to lay a solid foundation for doubling the per capita GDP by 2035 compared with 2020 and reaching the level of moderately developed countries, Zheng Bei said.

According to her, the economic growth target guides all parties toward achieving tangible growth, leaves room for changing development models, adjusting structures, and advancing reforms, and also provides support for increasing employment and incomes.

It embodies expectations for average annual GDP growth over the next decade and is consistent with the long-term positive dynamics of the Chinese economy, she added.

Zheng Bei also noted that this indicator demonstrates China's commitment to achieving better results in practical work during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, laying a more solid foundation for development during the 16th Five-Year Plan period (2031-2035). –0–

Tehran, March 7 (Xinhua) — Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) struck an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday morning, Iran's official news agency IRNA reported.

According to the agency, the "rogue tanker", sailing under the trade name Prima, was hit by a drone after ignoring repeated warnings from the IRGC Navy to ban passage through the Strait of Hormuz for security reasons.

The statement, citing the IRGC, stated that the strategic Strait of Hormuz has been "under control" for the past eight days, since the start of US-Israeli strikes on Iran and the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Passage through the strait is prohibited to oil tankers and commercial vessels associated with "hostile states."

On March 6, Iranian state television, citing a military source, reported that the Strait of Hormuz remained open, but warned that any ships belonging to the United States or Israel would be treated as military targets.

TEHRAN, March 7 (Xinhua) — Iran said on Friday it has no plans to close the Strait of Hormuz, denying reports that the country had completely blocked the strategic waterway.

According to the Iranian news agency Tasnim, a senior officer of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) denied media reports about the alleged closure of the Strait of Hormuz in an interview with state television.

"Some people accuse us of closing the strait, but in fact, Iran did not close this waterway," the officer said, adding that Iran would conduct shipping in the area in accordance with international navigation rules.

Iranian state television, citing a military source, said on Friday that the Strait of Hormuz remained open but warned that any ships belonging to the United States or Israel would be treated as military targets.

Also on Friday, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh told an international conference in New Delhi, India, that Iran has not closed the Strait of Hormuz and does not plan to do so in the near future.

"If Iran decides to close the strait, it will make an official statement," he said.

The IRGC said in a statement on Saturday that it had struck an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz using a drone.

The tanker, named Prima, was struck by a drone after it ignored repeated warnings from the IRGC navy about the Strait of Hormuz being unsafe and prohibited from sailing, according to a statement released by the Tasnim news agency.
