The State Council, China's cabinet, will send a draft version of a government work report for 2013 to multiple central and provincial-level government departments to solicit their opinions.

According to a statement released on Wednesday after a plenary meeting of the council, a symposium will also be held to collect opinions on the report from non-communist party members, experts, scholars, enterprise leaders and regular citizens.

Premier Wen Jiabao, who presided over the meeting, highlighted achievements made in accordance with previous promises in a government work report for 2012.
