On China's economy, Li said his country will continue to push forward structural reform and adjustment and foster new momentum for growth, so as to realize sustained, stable and healthy economic development.

China will also open its door wider to the outside world, which will unleash fresh opportunities for bilateral cooperation, Li said.

Turnbull, for his part, said Beijing's efforts to advance reform, stimulate social vitality, integrate into the world economy and develop green economy will help promote global development.

Australia, he said, is ready to work with China to further increase mutual understanding and strengthen cooperation in various areas so as to lift bilateral ties to a higher level and bring concrete benefits to the two peoples.

The two sides also compared notes on climate change and other issues of common concern.

The Chinese premier arrived in Malaysia on Friday for the 18th ASEAN-China (10+1) leaders' meeting, the 18th ASEAN-China, Japan and South Korea (10+3) leaders' meeting and the 10th East Asia Summit.

During his four-day stay in Malaysia, he is also to pay his first official visit to the country since taking office in March 2013.
