Meeting with Afghan Chief Executive Abdullah Abdulla on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization prime ministers' meeting, the premier said China attaches great importance to the development of its relations with Afghanistan, supporting its push toward a reconciliation process dominated by the Afghan people.

To boost cooperation, China is ready to send a working group to Afghanistan to discuss the development plan for national infrastructure, Li said.
