Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has called for efforts to step up flood control and drought relief work, as part of efforts to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.
Li, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, made the remarks in an instruction to a video conference on flood control and drought relief held Thursday.
Flood control and drought relief work is closely related to the overall situation of economic and social development, as well as security and stability, especially under the complex and severe domestic and external conditions of this year, said Li.
