Tasks in key areas will be prioritized. Institutional reform of the State Council will be carried out together with reforms to streamline administration, delegate power, step up compliance oversight and improve services, the statement said. All aim to transform the functions of the government.

Key tasks include cutting the time required for business registration by half. Also, putting administrative services online will be prioritized, and greater efforts made in cutting taxes and reducing fees. More measures to ease market access and further open up will be rolled out for a better business environment and more benefits for the people.

Key livelihood-related areas, including employment, education, medical care and old-age care, will see more concrete actions responsive to public concerns. "Effective measures for the benefit of the people must be delivered without delay. The people's satisfaction is what the government's work is all about, and all the promises the government made to the people must be delivered," the statement said.

The meeting also reviewed and adopted a plan to reform the setup of special organizations and public institutions under the State Council and administrations and bureaus under ministries and commissions. All departments should take an integrated approach to achieve economic and social progress while reforming institutions. Smooth transitions and the handover of responsibilities should be realized.

Departments will do their jobs according to their original mandate until the transition is completed. No gap of responsibilities or discontinuity of work is allowed. Institutional reform and development should be mutually reinforcing, the statement added.
