BRUSSELS, June 3-- The following is the full text of the speech given by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang at the 12th China-EU Business Summit: Work Together to Embrace a New Era of High-standard and Mutually Beneficial Cooperation: Work Together to Embrace a New Era of High-standard and Mutually Beneficial Cooperation Speech by H.E. Li Keqiang Premier of the State Council of the People' s Republic of China At the 12th China-EU Business Summit Brussels, 2 June 2017 President Juncker, Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends, It gives me great pleasure to come to the beautiful city of Brussels and join you for the China-EU Business Summit. On behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to congratulate you on the success of the Business Summit and pay tribute to people from all sectors who have long been committed to promoting friendship and cooperation between China and Europe. Belgium is known as the "crossroads" of Europe and Brussels is at the "heart" of Europe. From here, one can feel the "pulse" of this continent and see the direction of international evolution. The global economy and trade are now showing positive changes which bolster our sense of optimism, but the foundation for continued growth is not yet secure and uncertainties still abound. Economic globalization is encountering difficulties. Challenges such as regional conflicts, terrorism and large movement of refugees and migrants remain acute. |
