People's Daily: China and Europe must be each other's key trade partners for stability and balance

The People's Daily commentary states that despite differences between China and Europe, as long as both sides uphold the principles of mutual respect and equality with mutual benefit, fully consider each other's reasonable concerns, they have the wisdom and ability to find proper ways to resolve problems. Dialogue and consultation are the optimal path for managing differences, while mutually beneficial cooperation is the greatest common denominator for joint development. Looking to the future, China is willing to work with Europe, based on compliance with WTO rules and consideration of each other's core interests, to continue resolving friction and differences through dialogue and consultation, constantly explore new potential for cooperation, expand new spaces for cooperation, and jointly contribute Chinese-European strength to promoting global economic growth and maintaining the stability and security of global industrial and supply chains.
