Li says China able to keep around 7.5-pct growth

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said that his country has the conditions and capability to achieve an economic growth of around 7.5 percent this year.

China can keep its economic growth rate within a "reasonable range," he told over 600 officials and business leaders at a China-Germany economic and technological cooperation forum.

A pace around the 7.5 percent target -- whether slightly higher or lower -- will be acceptable as long as employment is guaranteed, household income raised and quality and efficiency improved, added the premier.

Meanwhile, he reaffirmed Beijing's commitment to the opening-up policy, stressing that opening-up is a basic national policy related to China's development and destiny.

China's opening-up policy, he said, is aimed at mutual benefit and all-win results and brings benefits not only to China but also to the whole world.
