China and the EU must together contribute to global governance and maintenance of stability in the world, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said.
"China and the EU bear responsibility for reinforcement of stability in the world. We must provide a greater impetus to the development, to lead the global governance, to provide it with support," Xi Jinping said during the meeting with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Beijing, AFP reports.
Xi Jinping noted that the world is experiencing "great changes," according to CCTV. The Chinese leader underscored that China and the EU contribute to multipolarity and act as key markets, facilitating globalization.
"The Chinese-European relations affect peace, stability and prosperity of the entire world," the head of state noted.
The last in-person EU-China summit took place in 2019. Initially, the summit was supposed to last for two days, but the sharp disagreements within the EU on Ukraine forced the European side to cut the program.
