BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): President Xi Jinping underlined on Monday (June 21) the need for China and the European Union to jointly uphold dialogue and cooperation as the mainstream of bilateral relations and mutual benefit as the main theme for bilateral cooperation.
It was a hard-won outcome for China and the EU to secure an uptrend in bilateral relations amid the Covid-19 pandemic last year, and the two sides should make every effort to treasure this outcome, Xi said during a phone conversation with his Finnish counterpart Sauli Niinisto.
