Talks urged to resolve China-EU trade issues

Expressing confidence in the scope of future trade and investment cooperation between China and the European Union, business executives from both sides voiced their earnest hope that the two sides will maintain communication to resolve existing trade disputes.

Their comments came as the 25th China-EU Summit was held in Beijing on Thursday, which coincided with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the EU.

Liao Lin, chairman of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, said that amid increasing challenges, Chinese companies investing and operating businesses in Europe look forward to a market-oriented and law-based business environment, and they hope the EU will provide greater stability and certainty for Chinese enterprises in Europe.
