Chinese top diplomat shares unexpected message about EU relations
Chinese Foreign Minister suggests new approach to EU partnership during Luxembourg meeting. His statement highlights need for mutual understanding and strategic cooperation between regions
In a high-level diplomatic meet-up today Wang Yi Chinas Foreign Minister and Xavier Bettel Luxembourgʼs Deputy Prime Minister discussed EU-China ties in Beijing (which many experts consider crucial for global trade)
The discussion focused on re-thinking partnership dynamics: China and EU should view each-other as collaborators not rivals. Wang Yi highlighted an important point - both sides need to see situations from different angles; this could help build stronger connections.
During talks with Bettel the Chinese diplomat spoke about global trade challenges: “We want EU to keep its own path and stay independent in decision-making“ Wang emphasized that China wants to work side-by-side with Luxembourg to make China-EU bonds stronger. The meeting showed how small-but-important EU countries like Luxembourg can help build better east-west links
The high-ranking officials talked about fighting against single-sided actions in world trade which both regions see as not-helpful for growth. They agreed that working together beats working alone - especially when dealing with modern-day economic issues
