Leaders, lawmakers discuss work report

Chinese President Hu Jintao and other senior leaders on Monday joined lawmakers in panel discussions on the government work report, which was delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao at the parliament's annual session.

Hu said efforts should be focused on economic construction to ensure steady and relatively fast economic growth.

"We should pay more attention to coordinated and sustainable development in an all-around way, and mobilize the initiative of all people so as to form a great force to boost the country's modernization drive," Hu said when talking to National People's Congress deputies from the coastal province of Jiangsu.
