Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli called for deepened and practical cooperation between China and European countries in urbanization on Wednesday.
China and Europe are in different stages of urbanization and their cooperation in the field has great potential and prospects, said Zhang at the opening ceremony of the EU-China Exhibition on Urban Development in Beijing.
China needs to learn advanced concepts, technology and managerial experiences from European countries as it is formulating an urbanization plan, he said.
Meanwhile, participating in China's urbanization construction will help European countries and enterprises to expand the market of industries and products, the vice premier added.
Zhang called for practical collaboration between China and nations in Europe by enhancing governmental communications and negotiations and allowing companies to fully play their role via project cooperation.
The exhibition is scheduled to run from Nov. 20 to 23.
