China's Premier Li Keqiang said on Wednesday that the country will achieve all economic growth targets, adding that there will be no "hard landing". He noted that the government should be able to stimulate the country's economy via structural reforms.

The government expect the economy to expand 6.5% - 7.0% this year and at least 6.5% until 2020.

Li pointed out the government had tools to stimulate the economy if there will be risks that targets could not be reached.

He also said that the government planned to launch a link connecting the Hong Kong and Shenzhen stock exchanges this year.
