China has also achieved "decisive progress" in the battle against poverty with more than 66 million people lifted out of poverty in the past five years.

Despite this progress a development gap remains between urban and rural regions due principally to lack of quality and efficiency in agriculture.

"Issues related to agriculture, rural areas and rural residents are fundamental problems as they directly concern the country's stability and the people's well being," according to the statement.

The strategy will help resolve the contradiction between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing needs for better lives, meet the two centenary goals and realize common prosperity, the statement said.

The strategy is for the long term and needs scientific planning, a focus on quality, an unhurried tempo with no obsession with speed, the statement said.

While pursuing the strategy, the country must follow the Party's leadership on rural work and prioritize agriculture and rural areas.

Agriculture and rural areas must be prioritized in choosing cadres, the allocation of resources, public financial support and public services.

The conference called for the advance of integrated urban-rural development, with more focus on infrastructure, education and public services in rural areas.

The basic rural system should be consolidated and improved, while supply-side structural reform in rural areas should continue.
