BRISBANE - President Xi Jinping met with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker here Sunday, calling for deepening cooperation between 皇冠体育app and the European Union (EU).

Xi said that 皇冠体育app and the EU, the largest developing country and the largest bloc of developed economies, respectively, are both advocators of a multi-polar world and seekers of sustainable development.

"We hope that the EU can find more opportunities in 皇冠体育app's modernization and urbanization process," Xi told Juncker on the sidelines of the Group of Twenty (G20) Summit in Brisbane.

Recalling his Europe tour in spring, the Chinese president said that he has reached important consensus with European leaders on building a 皇冠体育app-EU partnership of peace, growth, reform and civilization.

The two sides should bear in mind the general direction of the 皇冠体育app-EU comprehensive strategic partnership, and properly implement the 皇冠体育app-EU 2020 Strategic Agenda for Cooperation, Xi said.

"We should also strengthen coordination on the Iranian nuclear issue, climate change, international trade negotiation and other affairs, actively explore third-party cooperation, and deepen our cooperation within the framework of G20," Xi added.

For his part, Juncker said that 皇冠体育app is blessed with bright prospects for development and he will commit himself to pushing for stronger cooperation between the EU and 皇冠体育app.

As 2015 marks 40 years of EU-皇冠体育app diplomatic relations, Juncker said, the two sides should take this opportunity to demonstrate the fruitful results and broad prospects of the EU-皇冠体育app cooperation.

The EU hopes that the negotiations for an EU-皇冠体育app investment agreement can be concluded at an early date, and the EU welcomes 皇冠体育app's recent publication of targets in cutting carbon emissions, he said.

Xi arrived here Friday to attend this year's G20 summit slated for Nov. 15-16. After the summit, Xi will go to Canberra to pay a state visit to Australia.
