At a time of profound and complex changes in the international landscape, Li called on countries to jointly seize the opportunities and rise to the challenges, work together for common development, and actively advance reform in the global governance system; and proposed that Asian countries should jointly uphold the overall environment of peace and development, elevate regional integration to a higher level, and break new ground in innovation-driven development.  

He stressed that opening-up is China’s fundamental state policy, and China will move quickly to formulate matching regulations for the Foreign Investment Law, further widen market access for foreign investment, open the financial sector wider, strengthen the protection of lawful rights and interests of foreign investors, and maintain the continuity and stability of policies for investors from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
