China-Luxembourg relations have been developing steadily, and China is willing to further cooperate with Luxembourg in trade, investment and many other areas, and to build more platforms for people-to-people exchanges, Li told Bettel.

Bettel also stated that Luxembourg stands for free trade and multilateralism, and will work with China to tackle global challenges.
