In spite of recent tensions between the EU and China over a number of issues such as human rights and the bilateral investment deal, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met several European ministers during the weekend - the first face-to-face meetings since the European Parliament froze the highly expected EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI).
An important message was unleashed at the meetings in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou Province, according to some Chinese experts, that cooperation between China and Europe echoes the core interests of the majorities from the two sides, and that there are essential factors inside the EU in wrestling to meet this goal, which also need to be amplified.
