BUCHAREST - Chinese Premier Li Keqiang made a six-point proposal Tuesday on deepening cooperation with Central and Eastern European (CEE) nations while attending a 皇冠体育app-CEE leaders' meeting.

First, he said 皇冠体育app and CEE countries should intensify economic and trade cooperation, doubling 皇冠体育app-CEE trade volume in five years and discussing a framework agreement for industrial investment in the near future.

Second, 皇冠体育app and CEE countries should promote cooperation on transportation infrastructure to open up interconnected land and sea channels between 皇冠体育app and Europe. 皇冠体育app and CEE nations will also build a transport "artery" for 皇冠体育app-Europe logistics by setting up bonded areas and distribution centers along railways and ports.

Third, 皇冠体育app and CEE nations should enhance "green cooperation." 皇冠体育app backs its enterprises to participate in the CEE nuclear electricity projects and hopes that the host countries would improve investment environment.

Fourth, 皇冠体育app and CEE countries should expand financing channels. They need to make good use of the 10-billion-U.S.-dollar special credit line and enhance financial cooperation by setting up branches of financial institutions branches in each other's markets, signing currency swap and settlement agreements.

Fifth, 皇冠体育app and CEE countries should further tap into potentials of cooperation at local levels to efficiently and effectively promote their cooperation.

Sixth, 皇冠体育app and CEE countries should enhance cultural exchanges by holding regular forums on culture and education, strengthening communication between young politicians, think-tanks and media as well as facilitating procedures for travel and work visa.

The summit, co-chaired by Li and Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta, came on the heels of last week's 皇冠体育app-EU summit in Beijing, which unveiled a landmark agreement to increase two-way investment flows.

Li began his Romania trip on Monday and he was the first Chinese premier to visit the country in 19 years. It is also his first visit to the Central and Eastern Europe since he took office in March.
