[北京 １５日 ロイター] – China’s top foreign affairs official, Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China, told EU Foreign Minister Borrell, High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, that the EU needs to “clarify” its position on a strategic partnership with China. I was told there is.
The EU and China have pledged to strengthen ties beyond trade and investment in the comprehensive strategic partnership launched in 2003. But since 2019, the EU has seen China as an “economic competitor” and a “systemic rival”, and is wary of China’s close ties with Russia, which invaded Ukraine.
Wang and Borrell met at a regional meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Wednesday, China’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Wednesday. Wang told Borrell that China and the EU should strengthen communication, increase mutual trust, and further strengthen cooperation. I told him it shouldn’t have happened.
