Foreign experts offer their insights for report
Ideas and suggestions drawn from foreign experts, including Nobel Prize winners, were listened to before Premier Li Keqiang put his own touches to the final version of the annual Government Work Report, which will become a regular practice in the coming years.
Gao Xiang, spokesman for the State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs, said a total of 13 foreign experts from seven countries drawn from fields including economics, management, energy and technology, shared their ideas at a session on Jan 12.
"They were provided with the English version of last year's Government Work Report and a list of important issues we'd like them to give their suggestions on," said Gao. "They talked about escaping from the middle income trap, ways to promote innovation, reduce financial risks and tackle energy and environmental protection challenges."
