The trilateral business cooperation between China, the Republic of Korea (ROK) and Japan can be like a bowl of Bibimbap, a traditional Korean food mixed with warm rice and seasoned vegetables, whose ingredients differ from each other, but still work in harmony, said Premier Li Keqiang during the 5th China-Japan-ROK Business Summit in Seoul on Nov 1.

The Premier used the metaphor as Bibimbap would be the main dish of the welcoming banquet held by ROK President Park Geun-hye for him and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

He said he hopes that business circles from the three countries can enhance cooperation and achieve an all-win situation.
