Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, on September 14, specified five key areas that must be addressed by the government in order to augment the reform of the country's political system.

They include firmly establishing the rule of law, promoting social equality and justice, safeguarding judicial justice, ensuring people's democratic rights and combating corruption.

"Of these five tasks, the most important are to expand democracy, promote social fairness and fight corruption," Wen said at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2011, which was held in northeast China's port city of Dalian, Liaoning Province.

"By doing so, disadvantaged groups will receive help and our people will feel secure and look to the country's future with confidence," he said.

Wen made the statement in response to a question raised by World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab.
