EU investment talks on horizon, ambassador says

China and the European Union could start investment talks in the coming months, the Chinese ambassador to the EU said.

China has also submitted a proposal on launching a feasibility study on a free-trade agreement with the EU, said Wu Hailong, who is also a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

China does not want to be left behind while EU-US trade negotiations are under way. The EU and Japan are also expected to enter into trade negotiations.
