Inclusiveness will drive new agency to success

Among the host of moves in the new round of institutional reform finalized at the first session of the 13th National People's Congress, the decision to establish an international development cooperation agency demands global attention. The move does not necessarily mean China has just begun disbursing foreign aid.

The fact is, China gave aid to countries in need, including African countries, even when its economy was not booming, in order to help improve their infrastructure and medical facilities.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Premier Li Keqiang again made it clear that China does not seek political gains by granting aid to other countries, and emphasized that China doesn't give aid with preconditions.
