Li stressed that China will continue to unswervingly implement the basic national policy of opening-up. He said that in the process of opening up, China will make an active and effective use of foreign capital, and will manage to give better play to the positive role of foreign capital in China's reform of its economic structure and in promoting long-term, stable and relatively rapid development in China.
Villiger and Chambers expressed the opinion that in the face of the global financial crisis, the Chinese government adopted a package of active and effectual economic stimulus plans in a timely manner, which swiftly brought about obvious results, and which enabled China to take the lead in tiding over the global financial crisis.
They said that foreign companies doing business in China are optimistic about the prospect of China's economic development and are willing to participate in China's process of economic development on a long-term and sustainable basis, to realize mutual benefit and a win-win situation.
Li arrived in Zurich earlier Monday for a four-day visit to Switzerland, during which he will also attend this year's World Economic Forum annual meeting in the Alpine ski resort of Davos.
