BEIJING, June 8-- Premier Li Keqiang has reaffirmed China's stand on supporting multilateralism and advancing globalization in the direction of fairness, inclusiveness and shared benefits. Economic globalization, liberalization and facilitation of trade and investment have promoted fair competition and innovation, which are beneficial to world peace, stability as well as balanced and sustainable development, Li said during a Wednesday meeting with some participants of the fifth round table summit of the Global CEO Council, according to a press release issued on Thursday. The conversation between Li and the CEOs of around 20 of the world's top corporations, including Dow Chemical, Honeywell, BHP Billiton and Qualcomm, focused on regulatory reform, trade facilitation, innovation capacity building and expansion of market access. Li briefed the CEOs on China's innovation-driven strategies, saying China will adopt regulatory measures toward new industries and business models in an inclusive and prudent way, so as to foster new growth areas and guard against risks. China, with huge market capacity, rich human resources and upgraded industries, will provide broad space for foreign investment, said Li. He said China will continue to ease market access and allow foreign investors easier access to key sectors via a "negative list" approach. China will protect intellectual property rights and create a fair policy environment to become the most attractive destination for foreign investment, said the premier. |
