Li urges top advisers to rely on broad vision

Premier Li Keqiang called on Wednesday for top advisers to contribute thoughts and suggestions on how to improve the government's policymaking.

During a ceremony, Li granted certificates to six new counselors of the Counselors' Office of the State Council and to four newly recruited researchers at the China Central Institute for Culture and History. Both are think tanks of the central government.

Li said he hoped counselors would closely follow China's social and economic development and conduct in-depth research on major issues, amid a sluggish world economy and the country's efforts to restructure and cultivate new economic momentum.
