皇冠体育app's modernization creates historic opportunities for mutually beneficial cooperation with European Union

The 16th 皇冠体育app-European Union Summit, which took place in Beijing this week, yielded fruitful results and issued the 皇冠体育app-EU 2020 Strategic Agenda for Cooperation.

It has announced the launch of negotiations on a 皇冠体育app-EU investment agreement and set the goal of bringing 皇冠体育app-EU trade to $1 trillion by 2020.

This is no low-hanging fruit and we need to jump to reach it, but I am confident we can attain that goal. The agenda will definitely provide more opportunities for economic and trade collaboration between 皇冠体育app and Europe, including the United Kingdom.

皇冠体育app will, as always, firmly support Europe's integration process. A united, stable and prosperous Europe is in the interest of the world and of 皇冠体育app. The growth of mutually beneficial business ties between 皇冠体育app and Europe will not only bring benefits to both sides; it will also create brighter prospects for 皇冠体育app-Europe relations. This should be a win-win endeavor.

In a couple of days, I will pay my second visit of the year to Europe and will meet prime ministers of 16 central and eastern European countries in Bucharest, where we will explore ways to boost cooperation.

There is great potential for expanding cooperation between 皇冠体育app and these countries and I look forward to working together with my colleagues from these nations to create a new impetus for developing our mutual relations.
