China’s economic growth will recover steadily along with Beijing’s relaxation of its coronavirus policy, Premier Li Keqiang told the visiting heads of international organisations on Thursday.
The outgoing premier also pledged cooperation to address debt and climate change challenges to the heads of the World Bank, World Trade Organization and International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Huangshan, Anhui province.
“China has stabilised employment, price levels and also kept growth in a reasonable range. It’s not an easy job given pandemic shocks,” Li said, according to state broadcaster CCTV.
We’ll better coordinate pandemic control and social development and maintain a good order for production and living
The individual meetings came ahead of the seventh group dialogue of the so-called 1+6 round-table discussion on Friday, which will also include the visiting heads of the International Labour Organization, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and Financial Stability Board.
