Premier Li Qiang on Friday presided over a State Council executive meeting, which discussed measures aimed at stabilising employment, boosting economic growth, and advancing high-quality development.

Businesses are encouraged to maintain stable employment and expand vocational skills training programs, while efforts should be made to stabilise foreign trade and investment and support foreign-funded enterprises in reinvesting domestically, according to the meeting.

It called for boosting service consumption in sectors such as elderly care, childbearing support, culture, and tourism, and invigorating private investment, as well as continuing to stabilise the stock market and promoting the steady and healthy development of the real estate market.

While highlighting the need to address public concerns, the meeting also called for efforts to crack down on illegal activities and create a safe and reassuring consumption environment.

Efforts are required to enhance the regulatory capacity at the primary level and the application of new-generation information technologies, the meeting noted. (Xinhua)
