Chinese Premier Li Qiang presided over a symposium on Monday to gather opinions and suggestions on the draft government work report. The event featured experts, entrepreneurs, and representatives from sectors including education, science, culture, health, and sports, all contributing to China's path forward.
Speakers highlighted the significant progress China made across various sectors last year, acknowledging the hard-earned achievements. They also presented ideas to navigate current development challenges and ensure the success of government initiatives leading up to 2025.
Premier Li emphasized that despite the progress, China faces ongoing difficulties, particularly from external uncertainties and instability. He stressed the importance of accurately understanding these situations and leveraging them to turn crises into opportunities.
Highlighting China's comprehensive strengths in institutions, markets, industries, and talent, Li affirmed the country's steady long-term economic improvement. He called for adopting more proactive fiscal policies and moderately loose monetary policies, closely monitoring both domestic and international developments, and timely adjusting policy measures to refine the nation's policy toolkit.
Li also advocated for deeper reforms, expanded opening-up, a transition to new growth drivers through scientific and technological innovation, and intensified efforts to secure and enhance people's livelihoods. He encouraged attendees to actively report on social conditions and public opinion, and to propose more policy recommendations.
The draft work report has been distributed to various government departments for further suggestions, setting the stage for informed and effective policy-making in the coming years.
