Premier Li Keqiang, together with Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic and Latvian Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma, met the press after the conclusion of the fourth Leaders’ Meeting of China and Central and Eastern European (CEE) Countries on Nov 24.

Leaders of the other 14 CEE countries were also present off stage. Last year, Serbia hosted the annual summit, which will move to Latvia in 2016.

“The news briefing is definitely unprecedented with the strongest participants ever”, said a diplomat.
