Having completed more than half of his intensive five-day itinerary in Europe, Premier Wen Jiabao has been delivering China's decisive message that it will continue to bolster its partnership with European countries struggling with debt crises and economic recession.

Wen will give his vote of confidence to the United Kingdom and Germany on Monday and Tuesday by signing multi-billion-dollar business contracts and holding high-level exchanges and consultations with his respective counterparts.

In Hungary, this message was embodied in his Saturday announcement that China would buy a "certain amount" of treasury bonds. The Hungarian government described it as "a decision of historic significance", one that can help the country gain enough confidence to press ahead with economic reforms.
