"Both of the reforms in China and Europe are at crucial stage. The two sides will try to connect each other's development strategies, such as China's Belt and Road initiative and Europe's investment-oriented Juncker Plan, to further unleash⁹ potential of cooperation and boost the bilateral partnership to a higher level."

Li will also become the first Chinese premier¹⁰ to visit France in nearly a decade.

Besides Paris, he will also set foot in Marseille and Toulouse.

This is also the first meeting between the two heads of government since the new Belgian government took office last October.
