BEIJING -- Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli met here Tuesday with Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric Co., urging the firm’s closer cooperation with China.

China’s efforts in deepening reform and building an open economy system would benefit sustainable development of both countries’ companies, he said.
