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-
