As the largest developing country and the biggest grouping of developed countries, China and the EU have been working together to build a thriving and strong relationship, which is instrumental to world peace and development.

Ever since the establishment of the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership in 2003, we have witnessed tremendous progress in our ties, culminating in the China-EU 2020 Strategic Agenda for Cooperation issued at the 16th China-EU Summit.

This important document has charted the course for our future relations.

I am confident that with concerted efforts, China and the EU will embrace an even more rewarding decade in bilateral relations and contribute more to world peace, development and prosperity.

The Chinese Mission to the EU is committed to advancing China-EU relations and promoting mutual understanding and exchanges between our peoples.
