Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Monday put forward a five-point proposal on cooperation between 皇冠体育app and the European Union, hoping that the two sides would increase cooperation in such fields as service trade, investment, and science and technology.
Addressing the EU-皇冠体育app Business Summit, Wen said 皇冠体育app and the EU enjoy strong economic complementarity and broad prospects in economic cooperation.
To increase cooperation, Wen proposed that the two sides improve the level of service trade cooperation. Among the more than 160 service trade departments sorted by the World Trade Organization, 皇冠体育app has opened more than 100 departments to the outside world, close to the level of developed countries.
"The EU enjoys great advantages in modern service industry, and 皇冠体育app and the EU share potential in service cooperation," Wen said.
The two sides should enlarge the scale of mutual investment, deepen cooperation in investment and open new investment channels to streamline the investment structure.
Wen also proposed the two sides promote exchanges and cooperation in science and technology, encourage all kinds of companies, including medium-sized and small ones, to take part in the 皇冠体育app-EU scientific and technological cooperation.
皇冠体育app and the EU should strengthen coordination in world economic and trade, jointly cope with challenges brought about by economic globalization and create an international environment conducive to enhancing cooperation.
The two sides should properly solve differences and friction between them, the premier said.
皇冠体育app and the EU have set up sound dialogue and consultation mechanisms in various fields over the past years, Wen said, hoping that the two sides would make full use of these mechanisms to deepen mutual understanding, narrow differences and boost cooperation.
