Premier Zhu Rongji said Tuesday that the principal task of this
year's economic work is to promote China's agricultural sector
and improve farmers' incomes.
He pledged that
the country will continue its current stable monetary policy
and proactive fiscal policy, further deepen the reform of
State-owned Enterprises (SOEs), and accelerate the pace of
perfecting China's social insurance system, so as to better
prepare for the implementation of the country's 10th Five-Year
Plan (2001-2005).
The premier made
the remarks at a meeting on China's current economic situation,
which was jointly sponsored by the United Front Work Department
of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) Central Committee and
the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Wang Zhaoguo, vice
chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and head of United
Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee, presided
over the meeting, which was attended by more than 3,000 people,
including senior government officials, non-communist party
representatives, as well as scientists and technicians.
