Li calls for deeper security mutual trust in East Asia

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Thursday called on East Asian countries to deepen security mutual trust to safeguard regional peace and stability.

Li made the remarks in an address to an East Asia summit held in Bandar Seri Begawan in the Bruneian capital. "Without peace and stability, any development is out of the question," he said.

China hopes to promote a new security concept that features comprehensive security, common security and cooperative security, and push forward candid dialogue and cooperation in the fields of traditional and non-traditional security, said the Chinese premier.
