BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that China and the European Union (EU) should adhere to openness and cooperation and properly handle differences.
Xi Jinping made the announcement during a meeting with European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who are in Beijing to attend the 25th China-EU leaders' meeting.
History and reality show that interdependence is not a risk and the intertwining of interests is not a threat, Xi Jinping said, noting that competitiveness cannot be enhanced by “erecting walls and creating barriers” – attempts to decouple and break chains can only lead to self-isolation.
The head of state stressed that “reducing dependence” should not lead to a reduction in cooperation between China and the EU. Bilateral trade and economic relations, which are essentially complementary and mutually beneficial, should and can achieve dynamic equilibrium through development, Xi Jinping said.
According to him, China's high-quality development and opening up have opened up new opportunities and new horizons for China-EU cooperation. Xi Jinping called on both sides to deepen green and digital partnerships and promote mutual investment cooperation.
Xi Jinping expressed hope that the EU will keep its trade and investment markets open, exercise restraint in using restrictive trade and economic instruments, and create a favorable business environment for Chinese enterprises willing to invest and do business in the EU. -0-
