BEIJING, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- China's State Council on Wednesday convened a plenary meeting to discuss a draft government work report.

The document will be deliberated at the top legislature's annual session in March.

The meeting, presided over by Premier Li Keqiang, decided to distribute the draft report to local governments and relevant departments of the central government to solicit opinion.

Despite multiple risks and challenges, China has overcome difficulties and made a series of major achievements, with its economic growth last year in the leading positions among major economies, Li said.

The premier highlighted the hard-won achievements made over the past year as China met the main goals and tasks of economic and social development, calling for efforts to be sober-minded and develop a better understanding of the problems and challenges faced by the country.
