Li Qiang expressed hope that the EU will fulfill its commitment to maintaining open trade and investment markets, adhere to fair competition and WTO rules, and avoid politicizing and securitizing economic and trade issues. The current international situation is undergoing new and complex changes, with increasing instability and uncertainty. As two important poles in the world, China and the EU should demonstrate responsibility, maintain strategic independence, uphold fairness and justice, play a more constructive role in global affairs, better safeguard the common interests of China, the EU, and the international community, and serve as a force for stability and certainty in the world.
