TAIPEI, March 29 (Xinhua) -- A symposium focusing on the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) and Chinese modernization was held in Taipei on Saturday, drawing more than 20 participants from across Taiwan's various sectors.
The participants exchanged views on the recently released outline of the 15th Five-Year Plan, noting that people in Taiwan should seize the economic opportunities it presents, leverage the island's industrial strengths, and pursue wider room for development.
Yang Kai-huang, a scholar from the Taiwan-based Ming Chuan University, said the mainland has been expanding emerging and future industries, and promoting the large-scale commercialization of artificial intelligence in key sectors, which will help ensure a strong start to the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
Lin Shen-jing, executive director of Peace Wave Think Tank, said the goals and measures set out in the new five-year plan reflect the logic of exercising governance for the people.
"We hope that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait will strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and jointly advance policies that promote national prosperity and benefit the people on both sides," he said. ■
