BEIJING, March 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Tuesday vowed to put fighting corruption at the top of his agenda, at a special meeting of his new cabinet.

The sole agenda item for Tuesday's meeting was this year's anti-corruption work by the State Council, or cabinet.

Wen said some officials in government departments had no effective supervision, and this was an important reason for the spread of corruption.

Anti-corruption should give prominence to establishing systematic restrictions to such unsupervised powers, he said.
