China's Economic Growth Rate of Seven Percent Achievable: Official

China should be able to achieve its goal of a seven percent growth rate, despite the global economic slow-down, said a leader of China's top advisory body Sunday.

"An even higher growth rate is possible," said Chen Jinhua, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), during talks with a delegation from Gabon's Economic and Social Council, headed by Council president Louis Gaston Mayila.

Chen, also president of the China Economic and Social Council, said the two countries are highly mutually complementary in economies and resources and have a bright future for economic cooperation.

After the talks, the two councils signed a cooperation agreement.

The Gabonese delegation arrived here Sunday as guests of Chen.
