Premier will head to Europe for summit

China will look for ways to partner its Belt and Road Initiative with Europe's multibillion-euro investment plan during Premier Li Keqiang's visit to Europe next week, a senior official said on Friday.

The Beijing-led Belt and Road Initiative fits well with Europe's needs, especially the 315 billion euro ($351 billion) investment plan proposed by European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, Wang Shouwen, vice-minister of commerce, said at a news conference in Beijing.

The two proposals share a number of interests and the two sides will look for ways to cooperate in these sectors, Wang said.
