The sixth China-European Union (EU) Summit held on Thursday in Beijing indicates the relationship between China and the EU is developing healthily. This is the first leaders' meeting between China and the EU since China's new leadership took office in March. It is also the first summit between the two sides since China published for the first time its EU policy paper on October 13 and the European Union approved a new strategy for its partnership with China on September 10.
After the meeting, leaders from the two sides vowed to boost cooperation and signed three areements which open up new horizons for collaboration, including an agreement on Galileo satellite navigation cooperation and a memorandum of understanding on the EU becoming an approved tourist destination to the Chinese.
To further bilateral ties, Premier Wen Jiabao put forward a four-point proposal: to keep frequent exchanges of high-level visits; to deepen trade and economic cooperation; to set up an effective cooperation mechanism; and to eliminate barriers hindering the healthy growth of the China-EU relations.
This demonstrates China attaches great importance to the development of their comprehensive partnership in the new century, which will contribute not only to mutual prosperity and the growth of regional and world economy, but also to peace and stability by promoting the process of multi- lateralization.
Following its first long-term strategy for the EU-China relations in the 1995, the EU published a series of policy documents such as "Building a Comprehensive Partnership with China" in 1998, "EU Strategy towards China: Implementation of the 1998 Communication and Future Steps for a More Effective EU Policy" in 2001 and this year's "A Maturing Partnership: Shared Interests and Challenges in EU-China Relations" -- all of which laid a foundation for future long-term cooperation.
As well, China's publishing of its first comprehensive policy paper on its relations with the EU last month is a significant contribution towards further strengthening the bilateral ties.
In a word, it is in line with the interests for both sides to seek common development and to deal with their differences with pragmatic attitude.
