The country has kept advancing the structural reforms and created more than 13 million jobs. People's incomes have increased in sync with GDP, according to the premier.

In the new year, development remains the primary task, he said.

While appropriately expanding the aggregate demands, China will strengthen structural reforms, especially the supply-side reform, which are expected to remove hindrances to the development, motivate the creativity of hundreds of millions of people and foster new growth drivers, said Li.

He said the government will spare no efforts to resolve issues bearing on the immediate interests of the people, fighting poverty and bringing them care and opportunities to build fortune.

"All this will serve to deliver to the people a happier life with more secure jobs, greater confidence in the future and a stronger sense of satisfaction," Li said.

He finally urged all people to unite under the CPC leadership and strive for the nation's great rejuvenation.

This year's Spring Festival, or Chinese Lunar New Year, falls on Feb. 8.
