Li calls for shoring up economic dynamics

Premier Li Keqiang emphasized stimulating market vitality to withstand downward pressure and relying on the strength of the people to promote coordinated economic and social development.

The premier's comments came as he presided over a symposium on Friday to solicit opinions from professionals in higher education, science and technology, healthcare and sports on the draft of the Government Work Report, which he will deliver to the annual session of the National People's Congress in March.

Seven people, including two university presidents, a hospital president and an Olympic champion, were invited to speak at the State Council meeting.
