High-speed railway link to be built with Chinese technology

Romania is planning to build a high-speed railway using Chinese technology, the two countries announced on Monday.

The move is part of the cooperation plans being signed in Bucharest, the Romanian capital, as Premier Li Keqiang visits the country.

Working groups were to continue to discuss details of the pact on Monday along with other plans for infrastructure construction. "The value of the final deals will surely surprise us all," Li said.

Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta said that if his country's high-speed rail project goes ahead smoothly it will become a showcase for other countries in Central and Eastern Europe and hopefully lead to more deals.

Li and Ponta also witnessed the signing of a number of memorandums of understanding. Under these, the two countries will work on nuclear reactors and power plant projects and facilitate shipments of pork and beef from Romania to China.

Li arrived in Bucharest on Monday afternoon to begin a four-day visit and attend a trade and economic forum with leaders from Central and Eastern European countries.
