Li calls for stronger China-Europe partnership

He then introduced the detailed methods that Chinese government has adopted to address both current and long-term needs:

"For example, we have steadily released the dividends of reform, provided a level playing field for businesses - private capital in particular - and tapped the potential of the market," the article read

"We generated the internal driving force of economic growth, improved supply and boosted domestic demand through structural adjustment," Li said.

The premier said under those efforts, the Chinese economy is "now on a stable footing and stays within a comfortable range," with GDP growth at around 7.5 percent and the inflation rate under 3.5 percent, he said.

Li also said that more than 12 million jobs are expected to be created this year.

"We have been responsible not only for our own sake, but also for the sake of the wider world because this will create more opportunities for global growth and contribute to the recovery of the world economy," the premier said.

On the recent-concluded third Plenary Session of the 18th Communist Party of China Central Committee, the premier noted it has "adopted a series of decisions aimed at comprehensively deepening reform in China."

"These decisions will not only speed up China's social and economic development, but also help address resources and environmental constraints, as well as uneven development between urban and rural areas and among different regions, thus bringing greater prosperity to the Chinese people and creating new opportunities for our relations with the outside world," said the premier.

Li mentioned that the growing ties between China and Europe are chief among these.

"China's modernization program will create historic opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation between the 2 billion people of China and Europe, including those in the UK," said the premier.

At the end of his article, the premier urged both sides to "seize this opportunity and deliver the benefits which cooperation can bring to all our peoples."

Li expected to sign big deals in Romania
