On Nov 27 Premier Li Keqiang met with representatives who took part in the second meeting of governors of provinces and regions between China and South Korea in Beijing.

He said he hopes the two sides will make good use of the meeting and other platforms, increase exchanges, learn from each other and promote cooperation, to make a good contribution to the growth of the ties.

The South Korean representatives expressed congratulations to China for making tremendous achievements in reform and opening-up over the past four decades, which is not only conducive to China, but to the peace and prosperity of the Northeast Asia region.

They said the South Korean side is willing to join hands with China to promote trade and investment cooperation and cultural exchanges, strengthen local government cooperation, invigorate people-to-people contacts, and make new contributions to the development of bilateral relations.
