BEIJING, July 24 (Xinhua) — No matter how the international situation develops, cooperation should be the main theme and partnership the correct definition of China-EU relations, Chinese Premier Li Qiang said Thursday.

Chinese Premier Li Qiang, European Council President António Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen co-chaired the 25th China-EU leaders' meeting at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Thursday.

Over the past 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, cooperation between China and the EU has shown steady development and produced fruitful results.

History has repeatedly proven that when there is mutual respect, mutual understanding and mutual openness, China-EU cooperation runs smoothly and benefits both sides; when there is alienation and discord in their relations, cooperation encounters obstacles that cause both sides to suffer, he continued.

According to Li Qiang, China and the EU have a wide range of common interests and have no fundamental contradictions.

“In this changing and turbulent international environment, it is of utmost importance for China and the EU, the two major global powers and two largest markets, to establish close cooperation,” he said, adding that it is not only a natural choice for their development but also in line with the demands and expectations of the international community.

As long as China and the EU sincerely support free trade, the international economy and trade will remain dynamic. As long as they firmly adhere to the principle of multilateralism, the trend toward a multipolar world will continue to strengthen, the Chinese premier said.

China will continue to cooperate with the EU to achieve greater progress in this relationship and bring greater benefits to the people of China and the EU and beyond, Li Qiang said. -0-

ZHENGZHOU, July 24 (Xinhua) — A research report on building a community with a shared future for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) was released by a think tank in China on Thursday, calling for a closer regional community with a shared future and focusing on expanding dialogue among civilizations and people-to-people cooperation.

The document was released by the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province, central China.

The report notes that building a community of shared destiny for the SCO is an important step in line with the flow of history and a significant conceptual innovation in contemporary international relations. It is necessary to formulate a framework for action aimed at promoting regional cooperation through stability and achieving regional prosperity through development.

In order to fully realize the high-quality platform function of the SCO, all member states should accumulate collective strength while taking into account their own interests, the document added.

According to the report, the SCO member states have different cultural traditions. They should attach great importance to organizing a broad dialogue among civilizations and cooperation in the fields of culture, education, science and technology, sports, expand exchanges between different groups of people, especially between the media and youth, and continue to hold high-level forums of people's diplomacy, media forums, youth forums and women's forums.

The report emphasizes that in order to improve the regional governance system and make joint efforts to implement modernization, it is necessary to clearly understand the differences between the current major tasks and long-term goals for the future. A series of small-scale but effective projects for improving the people's well-being of the member states of the organization should be implemented to demonstrate the most significant signs of building a community of common destiny of the SCO. -0-
