Chinese and EU decision-makers met online to share ideas and good practices about how the two forces should work together and discuss common areas of concern.
On Wednesday, the fifth edition of the China-EU High-Level People-to - People Dialogue (HPPD) covered six main areas: mobility for researchers, education , culture, youth, sport and gender.
Among those heading the talks were Vice Premier Sun Chunlan of China and EU Commissioner Mariya Gabriel.
In a joint declaration, the two parties agreed to use the HPPD to "continue and improve this partnership in order to allow more progress towards a level playing field where the exchange of ideas and mobility would take place."
Both parties took the opportunity to note the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to improve cooperation and support between the two parties.
The HPPD, initiated in 2012, along with the High-Level Strategic Dialogue and the High-Level Economic and Trade Dialogue, constitutes the third pillar of China-EU relations.
