EU, China may boost human rights roles

The European Union and China have been urged to expand people-to-people exchanges on human rights beyond intergovernmental and institutional dialogues.

More than 60 experts and scholars attended the fourth Europe-China Seminar on Human Rights, which concluded last week in Bruges, Belgium. They explored the universal goal of protecting and boosting human rights development.

The event, which was hosted by the China Society for Human Rights Studies, had as its theme Diversity of Civilization and Human Rights Protection.
