China's new Premier Wen Jiabao said in Beijing Tuesday when meeting the press that the comparatively sluggish development of agriculture and the slow increase of farmers' income have emerged as a major problem facing his new cabinet.
This problem has become one of the major factors constraining the expansion of domestic demand, said the premier while meeting the press for the first time.
The premier said that his new cabinet is starting work on a "good foundation" laid by his predecessors, or the previous cabinet headed by Zhu Rongji, but the new cabinet must be prepared for "possible adversities" and still faces many problems and challenges.
The premier also said China is confident of achieving its target of building a well-off society under the leadership of the Communist Party of China Central Committee headed by Hu Jintao.
