China is committed to opening up the world’s second-largest economy and delivering reforms that can help stimulate growth, Premier Li Qiang said on Thursday, adding that geopolitical tension would only hold back development worldwide.
Li’s comments at an international business summit in the island province of Hainan, are his latest calls for Beijing to bolster its economic recovery in the face of strained relations with the United States and its allies over everything from Russia’s war in Ukraine to technology exports and Taiwan.
His comments were delivered on a panel alongside the prime ministers of Malaysia, Singapore and Spain – which all have close trade and diplomatic ties with Beijing.
“No matter what changes take place in the world, we will always adhere to reform and opening up,” Li, who took office this month, told the panel at the annual Boao Forum.
