Li Keqiang wrapped up his first official visit abroad as Chinese premier on Monday with a clear and strong message to Europe: more cooperation, less protectionism.
Premier Li Keqiang has arrived in Berlin for an official visit, opening up a historic opportunity to firm up China's cooperation with Germany and the European Union (EU) at large.
The achievement was hailed as a "milestone" by political leaders and business community, while Swiss media described it as one of the most important international deals in 40 years for Switzerland.
Premier Li Keqiang wrote a signed article, titled "Open Up New Horizon for China-Germany Relations", in German-language newspaper Zeit on Thursday.
China and India are destined to be together. They should work hand in hand if Asia is to become the anchor of world peace
Indian politicians and observers are expecting that Premier Li's visit could boost bilateral ties.
The choice of India as the first leg of Li Keqiang's overseas trip sent out a clear signal that Beijing prioritizes enhancing ties with New Delhi despite border spats and other disputes.
Both Beijing and New Delhi are at a new starting point and by inputting positive energy into their interactions they can lift ties to an even higher level.
The challenge before the two countries' all the stakeholders is to maintain the momentum and take bilateral ties to greater heights to help the peoples to prosper and promote regional and global peace.
Asian countries have to ward off the warmongers from the West, because peace is of paramount importance to the continent's forward march.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was one of the first foreign leaders to congratulate Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on March 15, CCTV said.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit to China was a good opportunity for her to brief China's leaders on the outcome of the European Union summit.
