Envoy: World is watching for positive signals

Premier Li Keqiang's presence at the World Economic Forum's 45th Annual Meeting will surely strengthen the international community's confidence in China's economic outlook, Wu Hailong, ambassador to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland, told Xinhua News Agency in a recent interview.

In 2010, Li attended the annual meeting in Davos as vice-premier, his position at the time. Wu said the visit this week represents more than Li's second time at the gathering of global elites. It is one of the first major diplomatic activities of a Chinese leader in 2015.

The international community is paying close attention to China's development, including its economic prospects and growing global influence, the Chinese economy's "new normal" level of growth and the country's deepening of reforms, Wu said, adding that trends in Chinese foreign policy are also of great interest.
