China's recent decision to promote high-quality development of its central region－Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei and Hunan provinces－will also bring about more balanced development and improve the overall strength and competitiveness of the region, officials said on Monday.

Cong Liang, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission, the nation's top economic regulator, said the central region will play a key role in supporting the domestic economic growth.

"With a solid economic foundation, strong development momentum and huge development potential, the central region is fully capable of undertaking the key tasks of fostering high-quality development," Cong told a news conference in Beijing.

To promote high-quality development of the central region, Cong said the country will make a big push to promote the coordinated development across urban, rural areas and regions.
