The international financial crisis hasn't ended and the road to global economic recovery remains full of potholes, China Premier Wen Jiabao said Sunday while on his visit to Europe.

Countries should facilitate the growth of real economy, Wen said in a speech in Hannover, Germany. Wen added that the virtual economy in some countries has grown excessively, which hinders recovery.

China will continue to promote industrialization, urbanization and agricultural modernization, which will lay a solid foundation for economic growth, Wen said.

Wen is in Germany on the second leg of an official visit in Europe. He left Iceland earlier and will subsequently travel to Sweden and Poland.
