In response to a question that how does China view the current state of China-EU relations and what position and approach does China uphold in further developing relations among major powers after the solidarity and cooperation among major countries played an irreplaceable role in winning the World Anti-Fascist War, shaping the post-war international order, and safeguarding world peace and stability, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu said on Friday that China is ready to deepen strategic communication with the EU, enhance understanding and mutual trust.

President Xi Jinping has pointed out that relations among major powers bear directly on global strategic stability, and that major powers all shoulder special responsibilities. China actively works to build a framework of major-country relations featuring peaceful coexistence, overall stability, and balanced development, Ma said.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the EU. When meeting with EU leaders, President Xi profoundly summarized the important experience and lessons of the past 50 years of China-EU relations: mutual respect, seeking common ground while reserving differences, openness and cooperation, and mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, Ma noted.

China is ready to deepen strategic communication with the EU, enhance understanding and mutual trust, consolidate the positioning of the partnership, expand mutual openness, properly handle frictions and differences, and strive to move China-EU relations forward, Ma said.
