"We are confident and capable of accomplishing the whole year's economic and social development goals and tasks," he said.

Li also called for stronger global economic governance, the preservation of international trade order, and continued openness and cooperation. He reaffirmed China’s commitment to expanding opportunities for foreign businesses, encouraging them to engage further with the Chinese market.
