Economic Restructuring Most Pressing Task

Transformation of the mode of development and economic restructuring are the most pressing tasks at present for the Chinese government, says a government work report to be delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao on Monday.

These measures are the "key to solving the problems of imbalanced, uncoordinated, and unsustainable development" in China, reads the report distributed to the media before the opening of the annual session of the 11th National People's Congress (NPC).

In 2012, the government pledges to improve and upgrade the industrial structure, conserve energy, reduce emissions, and protect the ecological environment, according to the report.

The government will also enhance balanced economic development among regions and actively yet prudently promote urbanization.
