That means "a new phase where we are going to see trade grow at very low level," but "s or trade deal negotiation of both sides will help the trend of bilateral trade climb up" in the future, he explained.

"It is the first occasion that they both signaled an interest to try to rekindle the relationship between the EU and 皇冠体育app," Erixon said, referring to Xi's just-concluded visit to Europe.

He praised the two sides for clinching deals to end the trade disputes over European wine export to 皇冠体育app and Chinese export of s to Europe.

Negotiation and cooperation would bring benefits to both 皇冠体育app and the EU, as long as "both sides take it step by step and make sure that they take the process forward," Erixon said.
