Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said that China will be trying to meet its major economic goals this year. According to the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Wang Wenbin, the Premier stated this while addressing the World Economic Forum Special Virtual Dialogue with Global Business Leaders.
Premier Li stressed the Chinese economy has deeply integrated into the world. No matter how the external environment changes, China will stay committed to deepening reform and opening-up.
The Premier added, “We will foster a new dual-cycle development architecture at home, with the domestic cycle as the mainstay and with domestic and international development reinforcing each other. It is not an isolated domestic cycle, but an open dual cycle conducive to both domestic and international development.
China will further ease market access, ensure the legitimate rights and interests of foreign investors, and foster a business environment where domestic and foreign enterprises can compete fairly and be treated equally.
While effectively containing the virus, China will launch more “fast lanes” for people-to-people exchange and “green lanes” for transportation of goods to facilitate cross-border business operations of companies.”
Premier Li Keqiang further stressed in his remarks that faced with global challenges, the international community needs to consolidate consensus, coordinate epidemic containment and economic growth, defeat the virus as soon as possible, and work for prosperity of the world economy.
All sides need to jointly shoulder responsibilities, support multilateralism, uphold international order, and give hope and confidence to people across the world. All sides need to join hands in safeguarding trade and investment liberalization and facilitation and restoring global industrial and supply chains as soon as possible, so that the world economy will be vibrant again, he added.
