（单词翻译）

On a busy schedule in Brussels, Premier¹ Li Keqiang co-chaired a China-EU leaders' meeting with European Commission President Jean-Claude Junker and President of the European Council Donald Tusk².

He also addressed the opening session of a China-EU business summit, emphasizing bilateral³ cooperation on infrastructure⁴ construction.

Li Keqiang has told the EU leadership that China is ready to join the European Commission's three-year, 300-billion-euro investment plan launched last year to revive the European economy.

"The Chinese side is of the view that China-EU relations, particularly economic relations and trade, is not only about buying and selling. We should expand mutual⁵ investment and even make joint⁶ investment. The Chinese side is willing to positively⁷ participate in the EU side's investment plan."

China believes the so-called "Junker Plan", named after the current European Commission President, fits well with the Chinese government's "Belt and Road" initiatives.

Addressing the business summit, Li Keqiang says China is considering launching a China-EU investment platform to back the plan, in particular large infrastructure projects.

He says as two major economic powers, China and the EU should also join hands in promoting international industrial capacity cooperation.

He has proposed to combine China's advantages in production capacity and equipment manufacturing with the advanced technology of European economies.

Li Keqiang has also emphasized the financial cooperation between China and the EU, saying China will buy more bonds issued by the European Investment Bank.

Following the China-EU leaders' meeting, the two sides issued a document outlining future cooperation priorities and a statement on climate change.

Li Keqiang has reiterated⁸ the Chinese government's stance on climate change.

"We are willing and we will make strenuous⁹ efforts to tackle and address climate change. By the end of this month the Chinese side will submit to the U.N. Secretariat on Climate Change our Intended National Determined¹⁰ Contribution plans."

As part of his time in Brussels, Li Keqiang has also met with his Belgian counterpart Charles Michel, and both witnessed the signing of an array of cooperation deals between China and Belgium worth more than 18 billion euros.

The Chinese premier's visit to Brussels coincides with the 40th anniversary of the establishment of official ties between China and the EU.
