国内英语资讯:Chinese premier calls for efforts to advance ties with Japan

Li said that during his visit to Japan in May, he and Abe reached consensus on third-party market cooperation and there were several successful examples of cooperation.

Some 50 business agreements worth 18 billion U.S. dollars had been signed between Chinese and Japanese local governments, companies and financial institutions during the forum. Li said this showed that China and Japan enjoyed huge potential and broad prospects on third-party market cooperation, which would become a pillar of bilateral cooperation.

On innovation cooperation, Li said China would forge ahead opening-up, make market regulation fairer, strictly protect intellectual property rights and create a market-oriented, law-based and international business environment.

"We welcome Japanese enterprises to take the opportunities of the new round of opening-up and invest in China," Li said. "China is willing to enhance financial cooperation with Japan through means including currency swap, to better support the cooperation between Chinese and Japanese businesses."

Saying that Japan and China had a long history of bilateral cooperation, Abe called on the two countries to cooperate and coordinate to jointly face up to issues in the region and the world.

By following principles of openness, transparency and market-oriented operation, Japan stands ready to work with China to conduct third-party cooperation projects that comply with the host country's needs and international norms for win-win results and contributions to regional and world development, Abe said.
