One of the most important reasons for Asia’s development is keeping its general peace and stability, said Premier Li Keqiang at the opening ceremony of the 2016 annual conference of Boao Forum for Asia in China’s southern island province of Hainan on March 24.

Asia’s development after World War II shows that no matter what the situation is, Asian countries should be friendly to one another, and their relationship should never be influenced by small frictions and contradictions, and that communication and cooperation are the “golden key”, said the Premier.
