"The achievements of China's reform and opening up in the past 40 years are jointly made by all Chinese at home and abroad," he said, inviting overseas Chinese to participate in ongoing reform and innovation in China.
He also called on them to join the building of the Belt and Road, and promote friendly exchanges between China and other countries.
