China will stick to its commitment to promoting global economic cooperation, Premier Li Keqiang said on Sunday while delivering the Government Work Report.

"Economic globalization is in the fundamental interests of all countries. China will not shift in its commitment to promoting global economic cooperation," Li told lawmakers during the annual session of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature.

The premier said that China will play an active part in multilateral trade negotiations and join hands with other countries to implement multilateral trade agreements.

"China is a responsible country. We have always striven to honor the commitments we have made, and we will firmly defend our due rights and interests," he said.
