Insights丨China-EU relations: steady progress for mutual benefit and global expectations

Chinese President Xi Jinping starts his state visits to France, Serbia and Hungary from May 5 to 10. China-EU relations have shown sound momentum of steady progress, which is in the interest of both sides and what the international community expects of us. China News Network talked with Ivo Ganchev, vice-chairman of the Bulgarian Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Ganchev stresses the benefits of practical Germany-China relations bring to businesses and people on both sides, and notes that many European states are highly interested in continuing to explore the opportunities of the Chinese market. And conversely, in recent years, there are a variety of products that have become of higher and higher quality coming from China and being used widely by European consumers. “So I'm optimistic about the bilateral relations between China and Europe,” Ganchev concludes.
