The Chinese government vigorously supports the development of the Internet as a form of market expansion and job creation, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Thursday.

Li made the remarks when meeting with participants of the first world Internet conference in Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province.

China embraces the Internet and fosters the development of Internet with a market mindset. A majority of more than 10 million companies that registered in China this year are small or micro-sized and many of them are related to the Internet and information technology, said Li.

"China will continue improving Internet infrastructure and increase the ratio of people's access to the Internet," he said.

China is willing to carry out cooperation and exchange with other countries in regards to the Internet and share the opportunities created by the Internet in the spirit of mutual opening-up and respect.

The conference saw roughly 1,000 Internet professionals, officials and experts from more than 100 countries and regions in attendance. Endi
