LANZHOU, Aug. 19 -- Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Monday underscored reform's role in promoting sustainable growth, pledging to keep the economy from big fluctuations and maintain steady performance.

To achieve sustainable and healthy development, the authority should stick to rebalance the economy while keeping growth, employment and inflation within the reasonable range, Li said at a meeting in Lanzhou, attended by provincial heads in the country's western regions.

When the economy is heading towards its targeted limits, reform is needed to coordinate the policies and "make precise moves" to maintain steady growth, he said.
