Both Li and Costa are going to visit Macao to attend the fifth Ministerial Conference of the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries next Tuesday.

Li spoke highly of the forum's role in boosting the common development of the Chinese mainland, Macao SAR and Portuguese-speaking countries, since it was established 13 years ago. He called on both China and Portugal to further promote inter-governmental cooperation.

Costa said Portugal is ready to step up cooperation with China via the platforms of Macao and the forum.

On EU integration, Li said China has always viewed the EU from a strategic height and long-term perspective, supported the process of EU integration, and believed that a united, prosperous and stable EU was in line with the interests of all sides and conducive to the world's economic recovery.

China hopes that Portugal, as an important EU member, will continue to play a constructive role in boosting China-EU relations, the premier said.

The two countries also signed bilateral documents on finance, energy and telecommunication after the talks.
