EU foreign policy boss reminds China of the bloc’s ‘strong bond’ with US

The European Union’s leading diplomat underscored the bloc’s “strong bond” with the US in his first virtual meeting with China’s foreign minister since President Joe Biden took office.

Foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, who is also vice-president of the European Commission, made the remarks after his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi raised relations with the US in their latest call on Monday, according to an EU statement.
