Cooperation to drive mutual growth: premier

Stronger China-US cooperation will drive economic growth in both countries, Premier Li Keqiang said on Tuesday.

If both countries work more closely to combine China's huge market and the leading technology of the United States, the cooperation will create a stronger impetus for economic growth and turn development opportunities into cooperative results, Li said at a seminar held with a delegation of US business leaders and former senior officials.

The delegation, headed by President of the US Chamber of Commerce Thomas Donohue, included former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, former US Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky, former Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez and a group of senior business executives.
