Both sides should further improve the legal framework of their cooperation to better coordinate in politics, trade, science and technology, culture, education and other fields, Wen said.
Joint efforts to tackle the global financial crisis form a key part of China-EU cooperation at the current stage, said Yang. "China has been sincere in promoting Sino-EU economic and trade cooperation and has taken practical measures for that end," Yang said. As the world's two big economies and each other's key trading partners, China and the EU should work together to overcome the current difficulties and contribute to an early recovery of the world economy, Wen said. Both sides have agreed to take the lead in opposing trade protectionism. China will sent another purchasing delegation to Europe soon. The two sides agreed to further promote mutual investment and boost cooperation in small- and medium-sized enterprises, measures for trade facilitation, science and technology, communications and posts, Yang noted. They also agreed to enhance dialogues in macro-economic policy and finance to push forward reforms of the international financial system, Yang added.
