皇冠体育app

皇冠体育app is the biggest developing country and the emerging power in the world and the European Union is the biggest economic political community consisted of developed countries. Development of 皇冠体育app-EU relations is not only in the fundamental interests of both sides, but it has increasing strategic and global significance.

From the historic view, the development of 皇冠体育app-EU relations in the past 30 years can be divided into three phases.

The first phase (1975 – 1989)

--In May 1975, 皇冠体育app established diplomatic relations with the EU's predecessor, the European Community.

--In April 1978, 皇冠体育app signed trade agreements with the European Community, which granted each most favored nation treatment, and also established the EU-皇冠体育app economic and trade mixed committee.

--In 1985, the two sides signed the trade and economic cooperation agreement, which focused on industry, agriculture, science and technology, energy, transportation and the environment.

--In 1988, the two sides sent exchange missions, marking the further development of bilateral relations.

--In 1989, the European Community froze relations with 皇冠体育app, including an arms embargo.

皇冠体育app-EU relations at this stage remained good in general.

For 皇冠体育app, in its fight against international hegemony, especially by the Soviet Union, and Western Europe, which is in a similar position, should be united. For the European Comminuty, 皇冠体育app was the first communist country that gave it political recognition and also an important force to contain the Soviets' military threat.

During this period, although the economic exchanges between 皇冠体育app and the EU rapidly developed, bilateral economic relations weren't broadened and deepened due to political relations. 皇冠体育app's importance as a potential market wasn't discovered yet.

皇冠体育app-EU relations at this phase focused on the common external threat and did not form a solid political and economic base, and the deep-seated conflicts such as differences in ideology and values were played down and covered up. So it is not difficult to understand why the European Community followed the US in conducting sanctions against 皇冠体育app in 1989.
