Reforms are on way, premier tells groups

China is ready to introduce more efforts toward reform and opening-up to achieve high-quality growth, and supply-side reforms will be further promoted in rural areas by nurturing new growth drivers, Premier Li Keqiang said on Sunday.

Li made the remarks while participating in a joint session of the elected members of the economy and agriculture groups of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the top political advisory body.

It was the sixth consecutive year of Li's participation in the joint group discussion with economy and agriculture groups of the CPPCC during the two sessions.
