Responding to a question on China's peaceful development, Hu said that China has made impressive progress in the past over 30 years thanks to its reform and opening up policy, and its international status is growing day by day.

"But China is still a developing country. China has not reached the level of developed countries judging from social productivity, scientific innovation and standard of living," said Hu.

"It is long-term and arduous task for us to enable all Chinese people enjoy common prosperity and live a better life," said Hu. "That means China should focus mainly on development at present and in a quite long time in the future."

Hu stressed that China is firmly committed to the path of peaceful development.

"China will continue to hold high the banner of peace, development and cooperation, always pursue an independent foreign policy of peace and develop friendly relations with countries worldwide in the context of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence," said Hu.

Hu said China advocates a new security concept featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination, and pursues a defensive defense policy.

Hu said China will not engage in arms races, not pose military threat to any country, and insists that international disputes and regional hot issues should be settled through peaceful means.

China will never seek hegemony and never go in for expansion, Hu said.

As for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, he hailed the remarkable achievements of the CPC, saying that the 90-year history of the CPC is a history during which the CPC has fought for the national independence, people's liberation, country's prosperity and people's welfare.

"Though we have made impressive progresses...we still have a long way to go," said Hu.

He pledged that the CPC will sum up experiences, stick to the purpose of severing the people with heart and soul, hold to scientific development, and lead the Chinese people to push the reform and opening-up as well as modernization construction, so that 1.3 billion Chinese people can live a happier and better life.
