China, Israel to advance all-round co-op
    2017-March-22  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    PREMIER Li Keqiang held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Beijing on Monday, vowing to advance innovation cooperation.

    Li suggested that the two sides beef up cooperation in areas of basic science, modern agriculture, clean energy and biomedicine.

    He urged the two sides to speed up negotiation on the establishment of a bilateral free trade area, so as to send out a clear signal of safeguarding free trade.

    China is ready to work with Israel to push forward infrastructure cooperation, such as ports and light rail projects, and explore possibility of cooperation in third-party market, he said.

    Netanyahu said Israel is willing to strengthen innovation cooperation with China in areas including smart vehicle, modern health care, clean energy, telecommunications, marine fishery, agriculture and water conservation.

    Israel hopes to accelerate negotiation on bilateral free trade area, so as to expand two-way investments, he said, adding that Israel is ready to enhance education cooperation with China to support their innovation partnership.

    He said Israel welcomes Chinese companies to participate in its infrastructure projects and is ready to enhance transportation cooperation with China.

    Israel appreciates China’s constructive role in the Middle East peace process, said Netanyahu.

    After their talks, Li and Netanyahu witnessed the signing of agreements for cooperation in economy, science and technology, commerce and civil aviation.

    Netanyahu is paying an official visit to China from Sunday to today at the invitation of Li.

    China and Israel also agreed to gear up negotiations on a bilateral free trade agreement during talks Monday between Li and Netanyahu.

    The two leaders cited the need to speed up negotiations even as bilateral trade exceeded US$11.3 billion last year and Chinese investment in Israel has surpassed US$6 billion.

    Li said China is ready to gear up the talks and “strive for finishing the negotiation at an early date.”

    Netanyahu echoed Li’s call for speeding up the talks. He said Israel is ready to boost cooperation on innovation and it welcomes Chinese enterprises taking part in Israeli projects.

    Li also noted China’s free trade negotiations would speed up with the Gulf Cooperation Council, made of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. A clear signal should be sent to the world about safeguarding free trade, Li said.
