/ world today news/ Recently, the former Belgian Prime Minister Yves Lotharme gave an interview to the China Media Group.
Commenting on the challenges and differences between China and the European Union, he said that this is not strange and the countries should deal with them wisely and with restraint. “China has achieved unprecedented success in its socio-economic construction in a short time and has once again returned to the world stage. This, in fact, is a rebalancing of the global power structure,” Lotherme pointed out.
In his words, it is important that the European Union defends its positions and has its own view, and not be in the role of “the small partner of the United States”. “We need to promote mutual opening, cooperation and fair trade between European and Chinese companies,” he pointed out.
Regarding the “separation” with China, Yves Lautherme pointed out that this is not a way to solve the problems between the two countries. “It is necessary to control the risks to global chains and economic exchanges and to maintain friendly cooperation with partners,” stressed the former prime minister, adding that, in his opinion, Europe “must be very restrained about the economic separation with China.”
“China and the West should conduct more intensive dialogue on issues related to their important interests. I hope that in the future more platforms will be created for a reasonable exchange on the concerns and concerns of the EU and China”, Yves Lautherme also said.
