Peaceful development remains China’s goal – Keqiang

China has reiterated its commitment to peaceful development and a win-win strategy of opening-up while working with all countries to promote inclusive, balanced growth, green and sustainable development, Chinese Premier, Li Keqiang, has said.
Keqiang said at the opening ceremony of the annual meeting of the New Champions 2015, also known as the Summer Davos Forum in Dalian that together, a global community of common interests and development could be built to create a better future for mankind.
According to him, the theme of the meeting, Charting a New Course for Growth, reflects  collective wisdom and consensus, and points the way for the future, and is therefore highly relevant.
He said despite the moderation in speed, the performance of the Chinese economy is stable and moving in a positive direction, and although difficulties remain, there are more opportunities than challenges.
“China’s steady economic development has benefited the people. For us to measure the state of the economy, it’s always important to know how the people are feeling. Since the beginning of this year, employment has steadily expanded. In the first six months, 7.18 million new urban jobs were created, meaning 72% of our annual target is already met”, he added.
