The EBRD has confidence in China's mastery of its economic policy and is willing to take China's entry as an opportunity to push forward their cooperation, he said.

The EBRD will enhance communication with the Chinese government and the business community, he said, vowing to deepen cooperation with China via the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Group of Twenty to build a strong partnership.

Earlier Friday, Chinese Vice Premier Ma Kai also met with Chakrabarti.

They exchanged views on beefing up cooperation on the Belt and Road initiative, production capacity, small and medium-sized enterprises and industrial restructuring and upgrading.
