Xi calls to step up drive for reform

President Xi Jinping urged Party and government officials on Tuesday to step up efforts to implement reform and achieve targets.

He made the remarks at the 15th meeting of the Central Leading Group for Deepening Overall Reform, which was set up in late 2013 to manage the ongoing reform drive.

Reforms in many areas have made solid and steady progress since the start of the year, and new breakthroughs have been reported in crucial areas, Xi said.
