Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called on China and European countries to expand consensus and cooperation to jointly cope with global challenges.
Speaking with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel via video link, Xi said the world needs mutual respect and sincere cooperation, instead of suspicion and zero-sum games, as the global COVID-19 pandemic situation is still grave and the outlook of the global economic recovery remains uncertain.
Xi said China's determination to expand opening-up is unwavering and he hopes European countries can offer Chinese enterprises a fair, transparent and non-discriminatory business environment.
Macron said Chinese enterprises are welcome to invest in France, and added that he is willing to enhance cooperation with China in dealing with climate change and protecting biodiversity.
Later on in the week, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that China and the European Union should handle disputes properly and deepen mutual trust.
