Chinese President Xi Jinping hailed the new concept of innovation, coordination, green development, opening up and sharing as a solution to faltering global recovery during his inspection tour to southwest Chongqing Municipality.
The notion was also a response to China's economy, which has entered a "new normal" state featuring slower growth, according to the president.
Xi said the concept must be carried out firmly and swift efforts should be made to adjust the thinking and practice which was not in line with it.
He stressed the five parts of the new concept should be implemented as a whole since they were inseparable in nature.
Xi made the remarks during his first inspection tour of 2016 in Chongqing from Monday to Wednesday.
