Li, head of US state seek ways to enhance exchanges

Premier Li Keqiang said on Tuesday that all US states, including Michigan, are welcome to strengthen exchanges with provinces and municipalities in China and deepen cooperation in fields such as trade, investment, manufacturing and innovations.

He was speaking to Rick Snyder, Michigan's governor, when they met in Beijing, one stop for Snyder's nine-day investment mission to China that started on Sunday.

Li said local cooperation between the two countries is booming, which is helpful to expand common interests. China will cultivate an open and facilitating environment, he said.
