BEIJING, July 28 (Xinhua) — China and Europe jointly promoting
anti-epidemic cooperation and economic recovery would benefit both sides
and the whole world, Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said here on Tuesday.

Liu made the remarks during the 8th China-EU High-level Economic and
Trade Dialogue, co-chaired via video link with Valdis Dombrovskis,
executive vice president of the European Commission.

In the meeting, the two sides conducted in-depth, candid and
practical discussions on the theme of “Post-COVID-19 China-EU
Cooperation, Promote Steady Recovery and Growth for Global Economy” and
achieved a series of fruitful results on jointly fighting the epidemic,
global economic governance, industrial and supply chain security,
China-EU investment agreement negotiations, WTO reform, expansion of
market openings, the digital economy, interconnectivity, and financial
and taxation cooperation.

Noting that this year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment
of China-EU diplomatic relations, they said the China-EU High-level
Economic and Trade Dialogue was of great significance against the
backdrop of COVID-19 and the severe impact on the world economy.

The two sides agreed to work together to implement the important consensus reached between their leaders.

They agreed to enhance mutual understanding, create certainty amid
uncertainty, enhance market confidence, and jointly promote China-EU
economic and trade cooperation to a new level in the post-epidemic era.

Liu said the COVID-19 epidemic was a common challenge for humanity.
“As two major global economies, China and Europe jointly promote global
unity in fighting the pandemic, promote the economic recovery, and
jointly safeguard multilateralism and the free trade system, which is
beneficial to China, Europe and the whole world,” he said.

Dombrovskis said the EU and China were important cooperative
partners, and promoting the development of EU-China relations was in the
common interests of both sides. Enditem

Xinhua Commentary: Belt and Road gains momentum in challenging times

Abstract : Entering its eighth year of solid progress, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is injecting growing impetus and stability into global cooperation in a world of uncertainties. BEIJING, April 28 (Xinhua) — Entering its eighth year of solid progress, the Belt and Road Initiative ( BRI ) is injecting growing impetus and stability into global cooperation in a world of uncertainties.

Against this backdrop, the BRI is particularly valuable for cementing connectivity, bridging differences and advancing...
