CHAMPIONS OF FREE TRADE AND GLOBALIZATION

Economic and trade ties topped the agenda of Li's Europe trip. In a keynote speech at the Business Summit, Li said both sides believe they should go with the tide of globalization and push forward globalization to make it fairer and more inclusive.

China always attaches great importance to fairness and sustainability while promoting free trade with the EU, Li said.
