The Chinese Diplomacy Head in Europe
The Chinese diplomacy chief begins on Monday a tour in Europe. A known figure in his country abroad, Wang Yi, a 71 -year -old experienced diplomat, must go to the headquarters of the European Union (EU) in Brussels, as well as in France and Germany.
His visit comes at a time when Beijing seeks to strengthen his relations with the old continent against the United States of the unpredictable president Donald Trump, who regularly describe China as their strategic rival. Disputes, however, remain between Beijing and Brussels, including the war in Ukraine.
In France, the Chinese minister will meet his counterpart, Jean-Noël Barrot, who had visited China in March. The war in Ukraine should be on the agenda of its discussions in Europe, according to the France-Presse agency.
China regularly calls for peace talks and respect for the territorial integrity of all countries-implied Ukraine included. But she never condemned Russia and has strengthened her trade, diplomatic and military relations with her. Europeans regularly accuse him of offering Moscow crucial economic support for his war effort.
