Chinese Premier Li Qiang and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen held a key phone conversation on Tuesday, signaling deepening cooperation between the Chinese mainland and the European Union. The discussion focused on advancing economic ties, climate initiatives, and regional stability amid global uncertainties.
Sources familiar with the talks noted that both leaders emphasized mutual benefits in green energy and technology collaboration. Li reiterated China's commitment to stable cross-border trade, while von der Leyen highlighted opportunities for EU businesses in Asia's growing markets. The dialogue also addressed shared priorities in pandemic recovery and supply chain resilience.
Analysts suggest the exchange reflects Asia's increasing influence on global economic frameworks, offering insights for investors monitoring EU-China partnerships. This development comes ahead of major multilateral summits, including the APEC Leaders’ Meeting later this year.
