BEIJING, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice-Premier Li Keqiang's fruitful trip to Switzerland and his attendance at the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) have contributed to strengthening cooperation, mutual trust, mutual benefit and joint exploration of ways for post-crisis development, Chinese Vice-Foreign Minister He Yafei said Friday.

The measures China has taken to deal with the international financial crisis have produced remarkable results, he said, adding that the country maintained steady and fast economic development and led the world in economic recovery, He said.

In a matter of four days, Li made extensive contacts with people in various fields and expounded on China's relevant policies and views to promote inclusiveness, solidarity and cooperation, which fully displays that China is a peace-loving and responsible country that seeks cooperation and development, he added.
