China and Myanmar have pledged to improve their future cooperation, as Premier Li Keqiang met Myanmar President U Thein Sein on the sidelines of the 16th China-ASEAN Summit in Brunei on Wednesday.
When a Bruneian businessman told me earlier this year that China UnionPay is the only bank card that can challenge the dominance of Visa and MasterCard, headquartered in the United States, I agreed, but assumed the time that would happen to be far in the future.
Premier Li Keqiang met leaders from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on Wednesday and urged the two sides to start establishing an "upgraded version" of the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area.
Chinese Premier said Wednesday that his country looks forward to signing a treaty on good-neighborliness, friendship and cooperation with the ASEAN to steer bilateral relations forward.
Premier Li said that China and the ASEAN should have a long-term vision and build consensus so as to elevate their strategic partnership to a new level.
