Chinese premier meets U.S. secretary of state

BEIJING, April 13 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said Saturday that troublemaking on the Korean Peninsula issue would harm the interests of all the parties involved.

"To do that is nothing different from lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own toes," Li said in his meeting with visiting U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry.

"The parties involved should shoulder their responsibilities and be ready to bear the consequence to safeguard the regional peace and stability," Li added.

On China-U.S. relations, the premier noted that cooperation between China and the United States, two major economies of the world, would cater to the international trend and benefit the world.

The two sides should achieve new breakthroughs on the depth and quality of the bilateral cooperation, and make further efforts to cultivate fair competition and protect legitimate rights and interests of their businesses, Li said.
