Chinese Premier Li Keqiang delivered an opening speech at the seventh China-CEEC economic and trade cooperation forum in Budapest, Hungary on Monday. Li said the forum drives the cooperation between China and the 16 CEE countries. For the past five years, the "16 + 1" cooperation mechanism has brought together heads of government to foster cooperation and development. The premier cited a series of figures to show the fast-growing bilateral cooperation between the two sides. He also said China will further open its market to CEE countries in the future.
