China’s ruling Communist Party will hold its next key conclave in October to chart development plans for the next five years, as the nation contends with risks to the economy at home and abroad.

The 24-member Politburo announced the month for the gathering known as the fourth plenum after wrapping a meeting on Wednesday, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. The decision-making body didn’t reveal specific dates for the huddle of some 400 Central Committee members.
