Xi’s visits inject new impetus to China-Europe ties
By People’s Daily
When spring arrived and everything came back to life, Chinese
President Xi Jinping made his first overseas trip in 2019. His state visits
improved China’s bilateral practical cooperation with Italy, Monaco and France.
China, together with the three countries, proved with concrete action
that both China and Europe are the constructors of world peace, the
contributors of global development, and the guardians of international orders.
They injected strong power to the development of China-Europe ties,
and also contributed positive energy to safeguarding multilateralism.
Xi’s visits mapped out a new blueprint for China’s bilateral ties with
the three countries, and enhanced strategic mutual trust and comprehensive
cooperation. They demonstrated the open mind and willingness of China to
conduct continuous dialogues with the countries and revitalize
traditional friendships, endowing practical cooperation with new
connotation, and promoting bilateral ties in the new era to a new height.
Xi’s visits expressed China’s sincerity to further enhance strategic
coordination and push for healthy and stable development of China-Europe ties.
The visits released a positive signal that China and Europe share the same
stand on safeguarding multilateralism and opposing protectionism and
unilateralism, and further expanded the width and depth of China-Europe
practical cooperation. They bore huge significance for the continuous deepening
of the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Europe.
Sticking to the basic norms of international relations, China and
Europe have laid solid foundation of cooperation on international affairs for
the long-term stability of China-Europe relations.
To cope with the common challenges and risks faced by human society,
the world must keep strategic composure and adopt a long-term view, jointly
safeguard the basic principles of the international order centered with the
purposes and principles of the UN Charter, protect the international system
with UN at the core, respect the international law and globally recognized
rules of international relations, and stick to the UN Charter.
Sticking to the trade rules, China and Europe have laid solid
foundation of economic development for the long-term stability of China-Europe
relations.
At present, the world is seeing increasing factors of instability and
uncertainty, with emerging trend of unilateralism, protectionism and
anti-globalization.
To conform to the historical trend of multi-polarization and economic
globalization and to build an open world economy, the world must keep
cooperating to tackle common challenges, oppose protectionism and unilateralism
in any form, and make global economy strong, open and inclusive.
In addition, the world should also enhance trade liberalization and
investment facilitation, safeguard the core position of the World Trade
Organization (WTO), support necessary WTO reforms, and make the rule-based
multilateral trading system transparent, equal, non-discriminatory, open,
inclusive, and beneficial to all.
Making efforts to deepen China-Europe partnerships of peace, growth,
reform and civilization, China and Europe have laid solid foundation of
strategic mutual trust for the long-term stability of China-Europe relations.
To deepen the China-Europe partnerships of peace, growth, reform and
civilization and develop China-Europe comprehensive strategic partnership calls
for the two parties to build closer ties in trade and interconnectivity,
conduct more practical cooperation, and protect global and regional peace,
stability and prosperity with innovation and inclusiveness.
China firmly supports the European integration, as well as the unity
and development of the European Union. It is also willing to see a larger role
to be played by Europe in international affairs.
Jointly building a new platform for multilateral cooperation, China
and Europe have expanded the space for the long-term stability of China-Europe
relations.
Increasingly, the Belt and Road Initiative is becoming a popular public
goods in the international society. China and Italy inked a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) to jointly advance the construction of the Belt and Road
and promote mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields; China welcomes
Monaco to actively participate in the joint development of the Belt and Road;
France pays great attention to the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and is
working with China to strive for early implementation of the BRI and
third-party cooperation projects.
These efforts are conducive to the expansion of the common interests
between China and Europe, as well as the common prosperity and the benefit of
the two peoples.
Xi, in the warm spring, has composed a beautiful melody of friendship
and a symphony of cooperation.
It is believed that Xi’s visits, focusing on the historical trend,
opportunities of peaceful development, as well as the China-Europe cooperation
and innovative development, will definitely promote the healthy and stable development
of China-Europe ties.
