Chinese Premier Li Qiang attended an entrepreneur dialogue at the 14th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as Summer Davos, on Tuesday in north China's Tianjin Municipality, exchanging ideas with entrepreneurs.

The dialogue was chaired by Klaus Schwab, executive chairman of the World Economic Forum. Director-General of the World Trade Organization Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and over 120 entrepreneurs from more than 20 countries and regions were in attendance.

The wisdom and strength of entrepreneurs are indispensable forces for economic development, Li said, noting that he hopes entrepreneurs can enhance their understanding of China.

China is an open, inclusive and honest large country that is not only devoted to its own development, but also shares its opportunities with other countries proactively, Li said.

China's development can inject stability and positive energy, and bring a sense of security to the rest of the world, he said.

Li noted that more cooperation opportunities should be created as China pursues high-quality development, saying that the country will work with all parties to promote the development of cutting-edge technologies and expand new areas of cooperation, providing new and broader space for the investment and development of enterprises.

China is willing to work with entrepreneurs from all countries to enhance driving forces for high-quality development through high-level opening-up and cooperation, adding more certainty to the world economy, Li said.

Entrepreneurs in attendance said that China is the most dynamic market with huge growth potential, and expressed a willingness to participate in the high-quality development of China's economy.
