Speaking at a group discussion of deputies to the current annual session of the Ninth NPC from Beijing here Wednesday, Li said that "we should have a clear understanding of the situation and work in high spirit to safeguard political stability and unity and achieve a sustainable, healthy and stable development of the national economy."

Li spoke highly of the great changes that have taken place in Beijing since the implementation of the reform and opening up policy, especially in recent years. He also praised Beijing's efforts and contributions in legislation.

He urged the city to take effective measures to improve local environment, including the use of clean fuel and development of environment-friendly vehicles.

As an international metropolis, Beijing should explore into new ways of urban management in order to adapt to the new situation, he said, adding that the city should place community work in an important place.
