The Associated Press said Wen promised strong growth this year and said the government would combat inflation and risks to banks to keep the rebound in the world´s third-largest economy on track.
Reuters said Wen stressed that China would maintain an appropriately easy monetary stance and and would seek to keep the currency basically steady at a reasonable and balanced level.
The Wall Street Journal´s website said Wen reiterated a target for gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 8 percent in 2010 from a year earlier, and promised again the government would adopt measures to support the economy.
German national news agency DPA quoted Wen as saying that: "This is a crucial year for continuing to deal with the global financial crisis, maintaining steady and rapid economic development, and accelerating the transformation of the pattern of economic development."
