China will import $8 billion of goods and attract $600 billion of foreign investment in the next five years, foreign minister Wang Yi said on Friday.

Wang said China would widen market access and open up its financial sector.

The practices of unilateralism and protectionism would be a form of regression, and not only would they lead to a dead end, they would damage one's own interests, he said.

China to import goods worth $8 billion in next five years: Foreign minister Wang Yi

China&#39;s foreign minister urged the United States and North Korea Thursday to start talks as soon as possible, stressing that &quot;the sincerity&quot; of all parties to solve the nuclear crisis would be tested.

Foreign Minister Wang Yi cautiously welcomed Seoul&#39;s announcement that Pyongyang had offered to hold denuclearisation talks with the United States in return for security guarantees.

The North also agreed to hold a historic summit between its leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in in late April.

&quot;The Korean peninsula issue has finally taken an important step in the right direction,&quot; Wang told a press conference on the sidelines of annual parliamentary session.

&quot;These initial steps must be followed up by corresponding and concerted efforts by the parties. We call on the parties, particularly the United States and the DPRK, to engage in dialogue sooner rather than later,&quot; he said.

But Wang issued a word of caution, noting that breakthroughs on the North Korean nuclear issue had collapsed in the past.

&quot;Of course it takes more than one cold day to freeze three feet of ice,&quot; he said.

&quot;Despite light at the end of the tunnel, the journey ahead won&rsquo;t be smooth. History has reminded us time and again that whenever tensions subsided on the peninsula the situation would be clouded by various interferences,&quot; he said.

&quot;Now is the crucial moment to test the sincerity of the parties to solve the nuclear issue.&quot;
