China’s Communist Party to hold top-level meeting in October
The fifth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee, composed of around 200 members, is held roughly once per year and typically affirms the party's key policy objectives.
China's ruling Communist Party announced that a crucial meeting, known as the fifth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee, will take place from October 26 to 29 in Beijing. This gathering, attended by top leaders, will be hosted by President Xi Jinping, who serves as both president and party general secretary. The meeting, conducted behind closed doors, is a routine annual event for the Central Committee, comprised of approximately 200 members.
The primary purpose of these sessions is to reaffirm the party's key policy objectives. The upcoming meeting marks the fifth time the committee convenes since the start of its current term in 2022, following the 20th national party congress. Furthermore, it is anticipated to be one of the final meetings before the next such congress, scheduled for autumn 2027, where Xi is expected to seek a fourth term as party leader.
The previous plenum, held in October 2025, centered on the economy and China's 15th Five-Year Plan for development.
