Li Bin said that the compiling team should carefully study overall requirements in compiling the 13th Five-Year Plan.

First, it should strengthen the spirit of reform and innovation. It should pay attention to the strategy and prospects of the working plan as well as carry out research programs during preparation in order to further expand international insight, learn about the country and analyze trends. It should pay attention to scientific planning and feasibility based on the current situation and look to the future. It should not only focus on key problems and conflicts, but also on long-term, deep-rooted and strategic problems. It should strengthen the authority and binding force of the plans and carry out research to establish a mechanism for implementation.

Second, the compiling team should correctly deal with the relationship between the government and market. It should combine the government’s leading role with market mechanisms to ensure basic healthcare welfare and meet resident demands. Meanwhile, the market’s role should be fully utilized to meet resident demands for services at different levels.

Third, it should study the requirements to become a well-off society and set indicators to meet targets.

Fourth, it should adhere to the democracy of compilation to make use of related institutions and experts, learn the demands of the people and solicit suggestions. The compiling of the work plan will become a process to gather wisdom, coordinate different interest groups and reach a consensus.

According to the requirements of the conference, the compiling team should make further designs and plans for major topics and special programs as well as arrange research on related topics. It should make a working schedule and implement it on time to ensure the overall progress of the compilation.
