In instructions on its formulation, Xi said the party's central leadership was 'organising the drafting of a proposal for the
15th five-year plan ', according to a Xinhua report on Monday.
A one-month online public consultation on the formulation of the plan was also launched on Tuesday.
The proposal Xi referred to needs to be endorsed by a plenary session of the party, according to its rules, and would then be detailed during next year's annual legislative session in March.
It is the first official signal about that plenary session – a meeting of more than 370 full and alternate members of the party's Central Committee known as the fourth plenum.
