SEOUL - Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said here Monday that the young generations in China and South Korea should take the synergy between their countries' development strategies as an opportunity to build a better future for cooperation in innovation and entrepreneurship.

Youth exchanges, as an important component of cultural and people-to-people exchanges between the two countries, represent the future of bilateral relations, Li said when addressing the first China-South Korea Young Leaders' Forum.

He recalled his visit to South Korea in 2011, when he was vice premier, saying he deeply felt the profound friendship between the two peoples, especially the young generations.
