Wen was speaking to a gathering of Chinese diplomats in Beijing. He also said that China would continue to reform its exchange rate formation mechanism.

The yuan has been virtually pegged to the dollar over the past year as a defence against the financial crisis, but some analysts think that Beijing will resume gradual appreciation next year as the Chinese economy strengthens.
