BEIJING - China will stick to its national family planning policy, but improve its policies in aspects like reproduction, migration and gender equality to achieve a more balanced and sustainable population development, said a senior official.

"A comprehensive plan will be formulated to realize a healthy population growth, improve levels of government competence, optimize population structure and guide rational population distribution," Li Bin, minister of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, said during an interview last week.

She said China will stick to its family planning policy for a long time, contributing to China's goal of building a well-off society.
