BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s Premier Li Qiang will attend the China-ASEAN expo in Nanning City, Guangxi on Sept. 17, the foreign ministry said on Thursday.
This year is the 20th anniversary of the expo, which is a key platform to deepen cooperation and promote trade investment liberalisation, spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular press briefing.
“China is willing to work with all parties to further implement the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership,” Mao said, referring to a free trade agreement among Asia-Pacific nations.
