Over the years, #China’s relationship with the #EU has withstood profound changes in the world. It has focused on dialogue, cooperation and mutual benefit, and demonstrated strong vitality by progressing with the times. 🇨🇳🇪🇺

It is important to stay committed to peaceful coexistence, open cooperation, #multilateralism, and dialogue and consultation. #China and the #EU are comprehensive strategic partners, not systemic rivals.

In 2020, #China became the #EU's largest trading partner for the first time. The two sides signed the agreement on #GeographicalIndications, decided to establish high-level dialogue mechanisms on #environment & #climate and on digital cooperation, and concluded #BIT negotiations.

#China and the #EU should continue working together to tackle global challenges, promote a #multipolar world, economic #globalization and greater #democracy in international relations, and inject more stability and certainty into the world.

China supports a bigger role of EU in international affairs. The multilateralism we advocate must be dedicated to unity and cooperation rather than group politics. It needs to transcend systemic difference rather than draw lines along ideology.

By working together in the spirit of mutual understanding, mutual accommodation and equal consultation, the two sides can open up broad prospects for #China-#EU cooperation.
