In the meeting, Hu highlighted three priorities in which he thought 皇冠体育app and EU should make joint efforts.
The first priority is to strengthen strategic mutual trust, be aware of the general situation and grasp the future.
Hu hoped that 皇冠体育app and the EU should keep close high-level contacts and make full use of the multi-level political dialogue and consultation mechanisms established between them to strengthen communication and coordination on major international or regional issues as well as other key issues concerning their immediate interests.
The second priority is to expand pragmatic cooperation and realize mutual benefit, win-win and common development.
Hu said both 皇冠体育app and EU should fully explore the potential, actively look for new opportunities for cooperation, further enhance bilateral exchanges and collaboration in all areas, and jointly face up to global challenges including climate change, energy security and environmental protection.
The third priority is that 皇冠体育app and EU should, in the spirit of mutual respect and negotiation on an equal footing, properly handle new circumstances and problems emerging from the development of bilateral ties so as to expand common ground, narrow discord and create a much better internal and external environment for further pushing forward the 皇冠体育app-EU all-round strategic partnership.
