ASTANA, Nov. 3 -- Chinese Premier Li Keqiang arrived here Thursday for an official visit to Kazakhstan.
During his stay in the Central Asian state, Li and his Kazakh counterpart, Bakytzhan Sagintayev, will hold the third regular meeting between the two countries' prime ministers.
The visit will focus on cooperation in production capacity, said Chinese Assistant Foreign Minister Li Huilai at a press briefing in Beijing earlier this week, adding that it will also help cement the two countries' coordination and mutual support on international issues.
This is the Chinese premier's second visit to Kazakhstan in about two years, which demonstrates the high degree of relations and strategic mutual trust between the two neighbors, said Li, the assistant minister.
Kazakhstan is the second leg of Li's eight-day Eurasia tour, which started with Kyrgyzstan and will also take him to Latvia and Russia.
