China-EU dialogue a sign of improving ties
By Tan Yingzi and Zhang Haizhou (China Daily)
Updated: 2009-01-16 07:37 Tomas Pojar, first vice-foreign minister of the Czech Republic, will lead a European Union (EU) delegation at the fourth China-EU strategic dialogue to be held in Beijing next Monday, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday. Pojar is expected to meet Vice-Foreign Minister Li Hui, sending a strong signal that both sides want to improve ties. "We expect the dialogue to strengthen mutual trust, expand common ground and deepen cooperation for a long-term, sound, stable progress of China-EU ties," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu told a regular press briefing. The Czech Republic took over the six-month rotating presidency of the EU from France on Jan 1. Jiang said: "We haven't changed our policy of further promoting a comprehensive strategic partnership" with the EU. Chinese analysts said the visit showed that the Czech Republic was eager to boost Sino-EU relations. Pojar "chose to visit China soon after his country assumed the EU presidency that shows it is eager to promote ties," said Wu Baiyi, a researcher on European affairs with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. |
