Li Qiang: China is willing to work with Europe to promote the upgrade of economic and trade cooperation and actively expand cooperation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence and digital economy.

On the afternoon of July 24, Premier Li Qiang of the State Council co-hosted the 25th China-EU Leaders' Meeting with Charles Michel, President of the European Council, and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Li pointed out that China and Europe have broad common interests and no fundamental conflicts of interest. China is willing to work with Europe to promote the upgrade of economic and trade cooperation, consolidate and deepen cooperation in traditional areas such as trade and investment, and actively expand cooperation in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, digital economy, and green development to achieve more results. Both sides can establish an 'upgraded' China-EU export control dialogue mechanism to ensure the stability of the China-EU supply chain. Both sides should adhere to solving differences and frictions through dialogue, consultation, and deepening cooperation. It is hoped that the European side will uphold market principles and provide a fair, just, and non-discriminatory business environment for Chinese enterprises investing in Europe. Michel and von der Leyen expressed that the European side is committed to developing a long-term stable partnership with China, willing to strengthen dialogue and communication with China, enhance mutual understanding, properly handle each other's concerns, promote cooperation in areas such as trade and investment, strengthen cooperation on export controls between Europe and China, jointly maintain the stability of the supply chain, and better promote their respective development.
