Nation to deepen Liberian cooperation

China is willing to deepen pragmatic cooperation with Liberia and help it to develop and reduce poverty, Premier Li Keqiang said when meeting with Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in Beijing on Thursday.

The fields in which the two countries can deepen their cooperation include energy, processing of lumber and agricultural produce, infrastructure and human resources, Li said.

China will continue to support countries including Liberia in their reconstruction work as Ebola has begun to subside, and is willing to provide help within its ability for Liberia's socioeconomic development as well as the country's work in strengthening its public health system, he said.
