Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt Monday on the sidelines of the ninth round of the China-EU High-level Strategic Dialogue.
Conveying the cordial greetings from Chinese leaders to Juncker, Wang spoke highly of the ninth round of the China-EU High-level Strategic Dialogue, during which he held a collective dialogue with foreign ministers of the 28 European Union (EU) countries.
The first of its kind, the collective dialogue worked well, as it increased trust, dispelled doubts, enhanced understanding, built consensus, and promoted cooperation, said Wang.
Noting that the China-EU Summit in April would be the last one in Juncker's tenure, Wang said that China appreciates Juncker and his EU colleagues' important contribution to China-EU cooperation.
China is willing to make joint efforts with the EU side to promote bilateral cooperation in key areas, foster new progress in the negotiation for the China-EU investment agreement, make this year's summit more fruitful, lay a good foundation for the further development of China-EU relations, and continuously push the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership to a new height, said Wang.
Juncker said he is willing to help the EU and China achieve new progress on important issues, so as to make the EU-China Summit in April a success.
Juncker asked Wang to convey his greetings and best wishes to the Chinese leaders, saying that he is looking forward to Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's visit to Brussels.
Hailing EU and China as friendly strategic partners, Juncker called on the two sides to help each other, move forward hand in hand, shoulder a shared responsibility for the well-being of the world and the future of humanity, and pass a good EU-China relationship to the next EU institutions to be elected through the European Parliament Election in May.
While meeting with Hunt, Wang said China hopes Britain will make earnest efforts to promote the "golden era relationship" with China and properly handle issues affecting the healthy development of bilateral relations.
Recently, some high-level British officials have repeatedly expressed London's commitment to promoting its "golden era relationship" with China, Wang said, hoping that the British side would carry out the commitment with concrete actions to strengthen mutual understanding and trust.
Hunt said Britain views China's development positively and is willing to see China playing a bigger role in global affairs.
London stands ready to make joint efforts with Beijing to deepen the "golden era relationship", said the foreign secretary, adding that some specific differences should not hinder the overall development of bilateral relations.
