China’s economy is improving, Premier Li Keqiang said Monday, as he called on officials to better implement policies intended to keep the recovery going.

Li echoed pledges from President Xi Jinping’s two-hour speech Sunday as the premier spoke with delegates during a group discussion at the Communist Party’s congress, according to a report by the official Xinhua News Agency.
