Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has stressed that development is China's primary task, and is the key to "resolving problems".
Premier Li says China is under great pressure for completing the task of maintaining a steady growth, especially when it is facing complicated domestic and global environment.
Li made the remark during an inspection tour recently in the southernmost province of Hainan.
He says to maintain China's economic growth, local authorities must shoulder responsibilities and work out effective measures to advance reform, expand markets and nurture development momentum.
But, he says, economic development must not be based on sacrificing the environment, as ecological protection is also part the productivity and China's "green fortune".

China has unveiled a package of healthcare measures to encourage the private sector to build health institutions.
The measures include relaxing price controls covering non-public hospital services. It will give private organizations more leeway to charge as they want and encourage competition.
China wants more private capital to enter the healthcare sector as soon as possible to increase the supply of medical services in the country. The move aims to ease the problem of inadequate health provision available to the country's 1.3-billion people.
All provincial governments are asked to publicize a directory, listing all public hospitals within their regions before the end of June.
Designated non-public hospitals will be included in the country's public medical insurance schemes. Government departments will implement the same reimbursement policy for both public and private hospitals.
China's public medical insurance schemes include health insurance for urban employees, jointly covered by governments, employers and individuals.
There is also health insurance for non-working urban dwellers, and rural cooperative health insurance for rural residents. They are covered jointly by governments and individuals.

Four cameras have been installed at Tibet's Mt. Qomolangma Nature Reserve to monitor key habitats 24 hours a day.
The reserve has spent one million yuan, or over 160,000 U.S. dollars, on technology to fight poaching.
Patrols and law enforcement in the nature reserve will also be stepped up to protect wild animals such as the snow leopard, Tibetan wild donkey and long-tail monkey.
The nature reserve was set up in 1988 in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. In 1999, it was recognized by the United Nations as one of the world's most successful examples of sustainable development.
Covering 34,000 square kilometers, the reserve sits at an average altitude of 4,200 meters and is home to five of the world's 14 tallest peaks.
