ULAN BATOR, July 16 -- Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Saturday called for joint actions against terrorism to root out the global scourge following a deadly truck attack that claimed more than 80 lives in Nice, France, on Thursday.

Countries must join hands to counter terrorism and build a truly open, inclusive society, in order to wipe out the hotbed for terrorism, Li said in an informal meeting during the 11th Asian-Europe Meeting (ASEM) Summit in Ulan Bator.
