EU chief urges China to address differences responsibly | Video

Beijing, Dec 7 (EFE).- The European Union and China should manage their differences “responsibly” when conflicting interests arise, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday.

“China is the EU's most important trading partner,” von der Leyen said after meeting Xi in the Chinese capital for the 24th EU-China summit, their first in-person in over four years.

“But there are clear imbalances and differences that we must address. We both recognize the importance of de-risking and strengthening the resilience of our economies,” said the president in opening remarks, flanked by European Council President Charles Michel and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell.
