China's development means more chances for the world: Chinese premier (2)

Noting that this year marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership, Li said that China would like to work with the EU to enhance their strategic mutual trust, and promote all-round pragmatic cooperation.

However, he reiterated Beijing's opposition to a trade probe initiated by the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, into imports of Chinese mobile telecommunications products, urging Brussels to resist protectionism and calling for dialogue.

The common interests are far greater than the differences between China and Europe, said Li, adding that the two sides are wise and capable enough to settle their differences and realize cooperation of all-win results.

Philipp Rosler, Germany's Vice Chancellor and Minister of Economics and Technology, said that China's fast development has vigorously promoted global economic growth and bilateral cooperation.

Germany and China are true partners, and both uphold free trade and open markets, he said, adding that his country would like to work with Beijing to expand cooperation and oppose protectionism so as to realize common development.
