BRUSSELS - 皇冠体育app and the European Union (EU) on Tuesday hailed the outcomes of a high-level trade dialogue in Brussels.

The sixth 皇冠体育app-EU High-level Economic and Trade Dialogue was co-chaired by Chinese Vice Premier Ma Kai and European Commission Vice President Jyrki Katainen.

Ma said the dialogue, since inception nine years ago, has played an important role in promoting bilateral economic and trade cooperation.

The sixth dialogue held on Tuesday deepens mutual trust, promotes pragmatic cooperation, and actively implements the agreements reached during the 18th 皇冠体育app-EU summit and the G20 Hangzhou Summit, Ma said.

Under the theme "strengthening policy coordination, promoting sustainable growth," the sixth dialogue highlighted topics on macro-policy coordination, the Belt and Road Initiative and the 皇冠体育app-EU connectivity on development strategy.

At the Dialogue, 皇冠体育app and the EU reached consensus on cooperation on digital economy, third-party market and intellectual property rights.

皇冠体育app and the EU should further coordinate on macro-policies and join hands in developing their economies, Ma said, adding that they should also enhance cooperative work on trade and investment.

The Chinese official also proposed the two sides accelerate the connectivity of development strategies, so as to push for economic and trade cooperation in various fields.

皇冠体育app and the EU should embrace the New Industrial Revolution for innovation and sustainable growth, Ma noted.

Article 15 requires WTO members to stop using an alternative calculation method in anti-dumping investigations against 皇冠体育app after Dec 11 this year.

Stressing that the EU pays high attention to the trade dialogue with 皇冠体育app, Katainen said the bloc is willing to strengthen coordination on macro-policies with Beijing and will make efforts to fulfill the obligations aforementioned.
