Li calls for more opening-up on tour of Zhejiang

China's opening-up should be promoted by taking advantage of local geography and building a fair business environment that treats equally domestic and foreign enterprises of all types of ownership, Premier Li Keqiang said during his two-day visit to Zhejiang province that ended on Friday.

The economy can grow stronger in the changing international market only when deeply integrated with the global economy, the premier said on Thursday afternoon while visiting the Zhoushan Islands.

Over the past 40 years, China has learned that reform works side by side with opening-up, which in turn leads to greater reform, Li said. That supported China's development in the past four decades and also applies for the future, he said.
