Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun

When asked how the emergence of new uncertainties in the transatlantic relationship between the European Union (EU) and the US affects China, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Monday that amid the rise of unilateralism and protectionism, and the interweaving of uncertainties and instabilities, the international community yearns for peace and stability more than ever before. It also expects a healthy and stable China-EU relationship more than ever before and hopes that China and the EU will become constructive forces in a changing world more than ever before.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the EU. China will work with the EU to maintain the partnership orientation, enhance strategic communication and coordinated cooperation, jointly uphold multilateralism, and address global challenges together. We will strive to inject new vitality into China-EU relations and provide more certainty and stability to the turbulent world, Guo said.
