Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday that China and the European Union (EU) should conduct more institutional dialogues to inject new and strong impetus into the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership.
In remarks during a phone conversation with High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, Wang said that at present, China-EU high-level exchanges have maintained a good momentum, and both sides believe that partnership is the most important feature of China-EU relations.
China has always taken a positive attitude in promoting China-EU relations, he noted, adding China attaches great importance to the China-EU leaders’ meeting scheduled for this year and expects it to play a strategic leading role in China-EU relations and bilateral cooperation.
For his part, Borrell emphasized that the EU is firmly committed to developing good relations with China, adding the EU’s Global Gateway strategy and the Belt and Road Initiative are no rivalries but complementary to each other, as both are aimed at promoting global development.
Borrell stressed that he looks forward to visiting China as soon as possible and launching a strategic dialogue with the Chinese side to jointly prepare for this year’s EU-China leaders’ meeting and to promote the further development of EU-China relations.
