Wen said the year 2012 might be the most difficult yet most promising year.

"The people needs the government to be calm, resolute and trustworthy, and the government needs the people's trust, support and help," Wen said.

"In my last year in office, I will carry out my duties, and will remain true to my conviction," Wen said.

"I will always be with the people," the premier said.
