(ECNS) -- China stands ready to work with the EU and take the EU president's visit as an opportunity to further tap the potential for cooperation, jointly address global challenges and provide more stability and positive energy to the world fraught with uncertainties, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Monday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning made the remarks when asked to comment on the China-EU relations at a regular press conference as the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen is to visit China soon.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership, the spokesperson said.
“Sound and steady development of China-EU relations is in the interests of both sides and conducive to world peace and stability,” said Mao.
She stressed the importance of the win-win cooperation between China and EU.
In the face of the volatile international situation, rising global security challenges and sluggish economic recovery, it is important that China and the EU uphold the spirit of mutual respect and win-win cooperation, overcome disruptions and difficulties, and focus on consensus and cooperation, the spokesperson added.
