Li vows transparent, fair environment for European investors

Premier Li Keqiang vowed on Wednesday to cultivate a fair, transparent and predictable market environment to attract European investors, especially in high-end manufacturing, modern services and infrastructure in western China.

The premier also said China would like to expand two-way investment.

"European companies are welcome to pour investment into China. ... We will encourage Chinese companies to invest in Europe and hope the EU can facilitate the working visa process," Li said on Wednesday. He spoke while co-chairing the opening ceremony of the 11th EU-China Business Summit with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.
