Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao told foreign delegates to the 2005 China Development Forum Sunday that the Chinese government would "unswervingly" promote financial reform, strengthen financial supervision and try to avoid financial risks through reform and system building.

Briefing the delegates on China's economic situation, Wen called financial reform a "major task" for the Chinese government in 2005 and beyond. "A stable, sound and modernized financial system will surely be built in China," he said.

The Development Research Center of the State Council, the forum's host, has held six annual meetings.

The 2005 annual session, focusing on China's role in the world's economy, attracted senior officials from international organizations, senior executives of multinational corporations, scholars and Chinese government officials.
