During a meeting with Serbian Prime Minister Mirko Cvetkovic, Wen said the two countries enjoyed a huge potential in infrastructure cooperation, and he called for the successful completion of the bridge project across the Danube in Belgrade to set an example for cooperation in the region.

China was ready to offer help to Serbia in planning its economic and technological development park, improving industrial competitiveness and boosting exports, Wen said.

Cvetkovic said Serbia would work to further promote bilateral cooperation, which had already nurtured major accomplishments in economic cooperation.

When meeting with Slovenian Prime Minister Janez Jansa, Wen said Slovenia had a sound industrial and technological foundation. China welcomed its investment in China's market and also encouraged Chinese firms to do business in Slovenia.

He also said China was willing to work with Slovenia in infrastructure construction in central and eastern Europe, explore the re-export issues and develop the regional market.

Jansa said China was Slovenia's key partner for cooperation. Slovenia would like to work with China to realize balanced and sustainable trade growth, and enhance infrastructure and technology cooperation.
