7th EU-China Strategic Dialogue in Beijing

Frederica Mogherini, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, met Chinese Premier Li Keqiang this morning in Beijing.

Li positively evaluated the development of China-EU relations, saying that as two global powers, China and the EU should work together to improve global governance system, and push for economic globalisation and free trade to deal with the uncertain changes of international situation.

Mogherini also met China’s State Councilor Yang Jiechi, for the first time since Donald Trump took office.

In an interview with Xinhua.net Mogherini said “the European Union and China share the view of a global order based on multilateralism and on the UN system: our cooperation has never been so important, in a moment when multilateral global governance is put in question from many sides.”
