Li: Nation can meet 2020 targets with major effort

China can attain positive economic growth in 2020 and reach its targets for the year, but will only manage to do so after making arduous efforts to overcome risks and challenges, Premier Li Keqiang said on Tuesday.

Speaking during a special virtual dialogue with global business leaders organized by the World Economic Forum, Li said the Chinese economy has maintained a momentum of stable recovery, with 7 million jobs already created in urban areas this year.

He said that China can reach its preset targets for this year if there are no major setbacks in the situation.
