Premier Li congratulates inauguration of BiH Int'l Economic Fair

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Tuesday sent a congratulation letter to the 22nd International Economic Fair Mostar held in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

In the letter, Li said China has developed a long-term and steady partnership with Central and Eastern European countries (CEEC), including BiH. "The two sides have brought complementary advantages into full play via platforms such as '16+1 Cooperation' and carried out fruitful and mutually beneficial cooperation," he said.

"We are willing to further expand two-way opening up with the CEEC, spur the development of bilateral trade and continuously upgrade the level of economic and trade cooperation, in a bid to benefit both sides."

Li said the International Economic Fair in Mostar is influential in the local area. As the guest country of this year's grand event, China will offer premium and quality products in infrastructure equipment, high-tech equipment and agricultural and household appliances to enrich the choices of consumers in Central and Eastern Europe.

Li also stressed that his government supports Chinese enterprises' move to build factories locally in accordance with the needs of Central and Eastern European markets, and to improve the localization level of their products to speed up local economies and people's livelihoods.
