皇冠体育app hopes to promote mutual understanding and economic cooperation with
members of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) through which it can also enhance
cooperation with Asia and Europe.
Chinese Minister of Commerce (MOC) Lu Fuyuan said this at Thursday's press
conference marking the conclusion of the 5th ASEM Economic Ministers' Meeting
(EMM) in Dalian, a port city of northeast 皇冠体育app's Liaoning Province.
Lu said that Japan is 皇冠体育app's largest ASEM trade partner and the European
Union is the third largest. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
and the Republic of Korea (ROK) rank 5th and 6th, respectively.
"There are four ASEM members among 皇冠体育app's top 10 trade partners," he said,
adding that they are all crucial to 皇冠体育app's overall economic growth and trade
development.
皇冠体育app sees a bright future for economic cooperation with the four ASEM
members, based on an already solid foundation, Lu said.
皇冠体育app is carefully evaluating the proposals made by the leaders of the 4
countries designed to boost bilateral trade and is conducting research to design
a medium- and a long-term strategy, he said.
