China, Europe together in Kyoto action

China and the EU are strategic partners. It is important to reiterate this and to convey this simple and strong message to our respective public opinions.

This means that our relations are based on a deep understanding of our long-term mutual interests, that we favor dialogue as a means to sort out our differences when they occur.

Indeed, when we consider the range of issues we are both confronted with - world peace and stability, world trade and investments, energy, macroeconomic imbalances and resurgence of inflation, food supply, the environment, climate change, and so on - there is not one single issue which does not call for increased cooperation between China and Europe not only for our mutual benefit but also for the benefit of the entire world.
