China and the EU should adhere to the correct understanding of bilateral relations, adhere to the main tone of mutually beneficial cooperation, and uphold the banner of multilateralism, said Liu Qibao, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and president of the China-EU Association, on Nov 22.

Liu made the remarks in Beijing at the opening session of the second online China-EU Track Two High-Level Dialogue. It was co-hosted by the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs and the European Policy Centre, a think tank based in Brussels.

He said that China and the EU should adhere to a dialogue policy, deal with differences rationally, and promote the development of China-EU relations through unlocking potential and stimulating vitality, and drawing on each other’s strengths in Asia and Europe.

More than 20 high-level representatives from the political, economic and academic circles of China and the EU, including Herman Van Rompuy, former president of the European Council, attended the meeting.
