BEIJING - Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Denis Zvizdic, chairman of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), met in Beijing on Thursday.

Hailing results of their industrial cooperation, Li called on the two sides to work together more in hydropower, wind power, grid transmission systems and railway upgrades.

China backs Chinese companies' investment in BiH fields including cement building materials, mineral exploitation, forestry processing and automobile production, according to the premier.

Zvizdic said BiH is happy to cooperate more with China in renewable energy, electric power, highway construction, processing and manufacturing, agricultural products trade and other areas.

Zvizdic attended the annual leaders' meeting of China and Central and Eastern European countries in east China's Suzhou City earlier this week.
