China and Kyrgyzstan vowed on Wednesday to work together to combat terrorism, a mutual concern of the two neighbors.

Premier Li Keqiang and Kyrgyzstani Prime Minister Temir Sariyev made the remarks when they met in Beijing.

"Against the background of the complex and severe security situation in the region and around the globe, China and Kyrgyzstan have to strengthen law enforcement and security cooperation, handle threats from terrorism together and combat organized cross-border crime," Li said.
