European Union leaders met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang in Beijing for the 25th EU-China summit, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations.
The summit was dominated by concerns over trade imbalances, China's support for Russia amid the Ukraine war, and the need for a more balanced economic relationship. Both sides expressed a desire to deepen cooperation, especially on climate change, with plans for a joint statement on emissions. However, expectations for major breakthroughs were low, as mutual grievances and external pressures, particularly from US trade policies, complicated talks.
The meeting underscored the pivotal moment in EU-China relations, with leaders calling for 'real solutions' to longstanding issues.
