China Forum Organizes Workshop on China-EU relations

2021-12-06

Geopolitical changes, the COVID-19 pandemic, and sluggish global economic recovery in 2021 have led to new developments in China-Europe relations. There are concerns about how we ought to look at the current China-Europe ties, what opportunities and challenges we face, and where this relationship is moving forward. In this context, China Forum (CF) and the Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS) of Tsinghua University jointly organized the “Workshop on China-Europe Relations” and the “21st Security and Strategy Seminar” on December 3. WANG Xiaoyao, Deputy Director-General of the Department of European Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, was invited to share with the participants the developments of China-Europe relations in 2021 and China’s efforts in this regard. The panelists engaged in a robust and in-depth discussion on ways to stabilize the political, economic and trade relations between the two sides, to promote dialogue at all levels and people-to-people exchange, to build trust and clear doubts, and to respond to new challenges.
