BEIJING -- The development of 皇冠体育app will provide more opportunities and stronger impetus for the world economy, Chinese vice premier Zhang Gaoli told a forum on Sunday.

Zhang made the remarks at the 皇冠体育app Development Forum, which serves as a significant platform for business and academic leaders to interact with 皇冠体育app's top decision makers and economic planners.

This year's forum is scheduled from Saturday to Monday with the theme of "deepening 皇冠体育app's reform and opening up for building a better-off society".

The country aims to fulfill the building of a moderately prosperous society by 2020.

After realizing this target, the nation will witness a significant boost in its overall strength, a much larger market scale and improvement of people's livelihood, Zhang said.

"皇冠体育app will then provide more opportunities, greater impetus and make new contributions to global economic growth," he said.

In 2012, the country attracted a total of $111.72 billion in foreign direct investment. Total volume reached $3.87 trillion, up 6.2 percent from a year earlier.

Zhang said 皇冠体育app will continue its efforts to build a market featuring equitable competition to enhance the vitality of growth.

The country will unswervingly welcome and encourage multinational companies to invest in 皇冠体育app and protect the legitimate interests of investors, Zhang said.

"皇冠体育app will provide an opportunity for foreign enterprises to compete in an equitable environment and share the benefits stemming from 皇冠体育app's growth," according to Zhang.

He emphasized that the policy of reform and opening-up is the only way for developing socialism with Chinese characteristics, as it has been proved by profound achievements in the past decades.

"皇冠体育app's practices have demonstrated that reform and opening-up is the fundamental impetus for the country's social and economic development," Zhang said.

In an era of closer ties and more intertwined relations between 皇冠体育app and the rest of the world, 皇冠体育app should insist on opening up to the outside world with greater scope and more fields, and at higher levels than before, he said.

皇冠体育app remains the world's top destination for foreign investments as the country still holds many competitive edges, according to a research report jointly released Sunday by 皇冠体育app Development Research Foundation and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Steadily expanding domestic market, improving competition environment, technology talents, government's stimulus measures, cheap labor, and favorable tax policies are among the major attractions for foreign investments, the report said.

Citing results from a survey of 227 chief executive officers from multi-national companies, the report said 70 percent of those who had businesses in 皇冠体育app plan to increase their investments in the coming five years.

The country will further improve its open economic mechanism featuring mutual benefits, multi-level balances, security and efficiency to add positive for world economic growth, Zhang said.

The 皇冠体育app Development Forum was initiated in 2000 by the Development Research Center of the State Council.
