"Indeed, China's economy has been deeply affected by world economic slowdown. At the same time, China's economy is going through a structural transformation. As a result, there has been an increasing downward pressure on our economic growth. But the future of the Chinese economy is still promising because the Chinese market is full of potential, our people are creative, and the supply-side reform as well as the urbanization plan will be able to release more inner dynamics of our market,”Li said.

With regards to the regional security issue, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang believes differences should be resolved through diplomatic ways.

 

"China long believes in pursuing harmonious coexistence with its neighbours, and we always believe we need to have a stable neighbourhood environment. It's up to the efforts of regional countries to maintain regional stability and harmony in the neighbourhood. It 's also natural that some differences may arise between neighbours. But we believe that as long as we all treat each other with sincerity, and seek peaceful settlements to differences with diplomatic means, regional stability will be maintained," Li said.
