He also called on more effort from the two sides to explore third-party markets in the production capacity cooperation.

For her part, President Park Geun Hye said she hopes the ratifying⁴ process of the bilateral⁵ FTA can be fast-tracked and become effective at an early date.

She also said the two countries should continue to strengthen high-level exchanges and conduct dialogues in various fields.

"From this year on, I have met many times with Chinese leaders, including President Xi Jinpin, Premier Li Keqiang. The close exchanges between leaders of the two countries will help to improve the bilateral relationship and ensure regional peace and prosperity."

Besides economic and trade cooperation, the two leaders also talked about the regional situation.

Premier Li Keqiang said that he appreciated the efforts made by South Korea to ensure regional stability and prosperity.

"The visit aims to help boost bilateral ties between China and South Korea. At the same time, I will attend the 6th trilateral summit between China, South Korea and Japan. South Korea is the coordinator⁶ of the trilateral cooperation. I appreciate the contribution made by the president and her government to restart the China-South Korea-Japan meeting mechanism⁷."
