China, Bavaria seek to enhance teamwork

Premier receives soccer club's jersey as officials vow further cooperation

FC Bayern Munich unveiled its latest "signing" on Monday and set a goal of greater teamwork with China on and off the field as Premier Li Keqiang was presented with a jersey from the German soccer club by Bavarian Prime Minister Horst Seehofer.

As Li was given the No 8 jersey in Beijing, with his name on the back and signed by the team, Seehofer, the leader of the Christian Social Union in Bavaria, said he hopes Bayern Munich will play in China next year, and help China to train soccer players so that one day both countries can meet in the World Cup finals.
