△ On September 14, Xi Jinping and the EU leaders in Germany jointly held a video meeting.

　　On September 14, President Xi Jinping held a meeting in Beijing with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, President of the European Council Michel, and President of the European Commission Von der Lein in Beijing. The meeting was held by video.

　　At present, the global pandemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has accelerated the evolution of major changes unseen in a century.

Mankind faces many common challenges and is standing at a new crossroads.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that as the world’s two major forces, two major markets, and two major civilizations, China and Europe, the more they face this situation, the more they must firmly grasp the general direction of mutual support, unity and cooperation, and the more they must unswervingly promote China-EU comprehensive strategic partners. The healthy and stable development of the relationship has injected more positive energy into the international community to fight the epidemic, restore the economy, and maintain justice.

　　China and the EU respect each other, seek common ground while reserving differences, and seek harmony but differences, continuously enhance mutual understanding and trust, expand common interests in cooperation, and solve difficult problems in development.

In the video meeting that day, Xi Jinping emphasized that China and Europe must achieve "four persistences."

　　——Insist on peaceful coexistence

　　If the forces of peaceful coexistence between China and Europe are firm, world peace and prosperity will be guaranteed.

　　——Insist on open cooperation

　　China will continue to tap the potential of domestic demand to achieve better connectivity and greater benefits between the two major markets and resources between China and Europe, and promote the joint development of China and Europe to be stronger and more sustainable.

　　-Adhere to multilateralism

　　China is willing to strengthen dialogue and collaboration with the EU at the bilateral, regional and global levels, adhere to the global governance concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, maintain the international order and international system with the United Nations at its core, and promote political settlement of international and regional hotspot issues. Build a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　——Insist on dialogue and consultation

　　China and the EU should grasp the mainstream of the cooperation and development of China-EU relations, resolve misunderstandings through dialogue, solve problems through development, and properly manage differences.

　　How to develop China-EU relations in the "post-epidemic era"? President Xi Jinping's "4 Perseverances" have expressed China's position and attitude to the world.

　　During the video meeting, President Xi Jinping clarified China's principled position on Hong Kong-related and Xinjiang-related issues, and pointed out that the essence of Hong Kong-related and Xinjiang-related issues is to safeguard China's national sovereignty, security and unity, and to protect the rights of people of all ethnic groups to live and work in peace.

　　On the issue of human rights, Xi Jinping emphasized that there is no universal human rights development path in the world. Human rights protection is not the best, only better.

　　China has always adhered to the people's stand and the people's dominant position.

In the face of the sudden epidemic, China has gone all out to treat patients, not missing one infected person, and not giving up every patient. The concept of "people first, life first" runs through.

　　Xi Jinping stated that China does not accept human rights as a "teacher" and opposes "double standards".

China is willing to strengthen exchanges and make common progress with the European side based on the principle of mutual respect.

　　The Chinese people are striving to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, which will protect the human rights of the Chinese people at a higher level and promote the all-round development of people.

　　Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China and Europe have maintained close ties in anti-epidemic and global health cooperation, demonstrating the significance of the times and global impact of the China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership.

　　Xi Jinping pointed out that “in the next step, the two sides must strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination and cooperation, maintain the stability of the global industrial chain and supply chain, and jointly promote the recovery of the world economy.” People must be restored in an orderly manner to facilitate the cross-border movement of goods.

△ A train loaded with 618.6 tons of medical supplies and cross-border e-commerce export products departed from Wuhan Wujiashan Station to Duisburg, Germany.

　　On September 12, a group of 50 China-Europe express trains loaded with medical supplies, computer cases, optical cables, non-woven products and cross-border e-commerce export products departed from Wuhan Wujiashan Station. This is a B2B cross-border e-commerce company in Hubei. Export products are sold to Europe on the Wuhan China-Europe train for the first time.

　　China-Europe freight trains continued to maintain a strong growth trend. In August this year, 1,247 trains were opened and 113,000 TEUs of goods were sent, which reached a new high.

　　The new crown pneumonia epidemic has swept the world, and international transportation has been severely affected.

The China-Europe express train has provoked the "beam" of land transportation and has become a "passage of life" and "link of fate" for countries to fight the epidemic together.

　　The global governance concept of win-win cooperation, openness and tolerance advocated by China has injected confidence into the recovery of the world economy.

　　China and Europe are mutually important trading and investment partners.

Xi Jinping said that the Chinese market remains open to Europe and welcomes more high-quality and safe EU agricultural products into China.

　　On the day of the meeting, China and Europe formally signed the China-EU Geographical Indications Agreement.

　　Geographical indications are an important type of intellectual property.

This is the first large-scale mutual recognition of each other's geographical indications between China and Europe.

The agreement includes a total of 550 geographical indications (275 each), involving alcohol, tea, agricultural products, and food.

△The signing of the China-EU Geographical Indications Agreement by the representatives of China and the EU

　　According to the agreement, my country’s first batch of 100 well-known geographical indications such as Anxi Tieguanyin, Wuchang Rice, and Sichuan Pickles will be protected by the European Union immediately after the agreement comes into force, effectively preventing the occurrence of infringements such as counterfeiting.

The second batch of 175 geographical indications will be protected within four years after the agreement enters into force.

my country's relevant geographical indication products have the right to use the official signs of the European Union.

　　European high-quality specialty products such as champagne, Bavarian beer, Parma ham, and Magina olive oil will also receive high levels of protection and enter the Chinese market.

　　The total economic volume of China and Europe has accounted for one-third of the world, and economic and trade cooperation has always been an important part of China-EU relations.

　　The signing of the China-EU Geographical Indication Agreement between China and the EU will help promote bilateral trade in geographical indication products, fully embody the commitment of China and the EU to carry out free and open trade and support a rule-based multilateral system, and provide new impetus for the development of China-EU economic and trade cooperation. .

△China and Greece jointly build the flagship project of "One Belt One Road" Piraeus Port, Greece

　　Xi Jinping also expressed China’s position on building China-EU green partnerships and digital partnerships, suggesting that the two parties should adopt a proactive and pragmatic attitude to speed up the negotiations on the China-EU investment agreement, achieve the goal of completing negotiations within the year, promote the quality and upgrade of cooperation, and help the epidemic. After the recovery of the world economy, we will jointly maintain an open trade and investment environment.

　　European friends say that "a tree cannot stop the cold wind", and the Chinese say that "a big river has water and a small river is full, and a small river has water and a big river is full."

Only with win-win cooperation can we do big, good, and long-term things.

　　The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and human society is at a new crossroads.

The important proposition put forward by President Xi Jinping has injected confidence into the healthy and stable operation of the "China-EU Relations" train, and injected more positive energy into the international community to fight the epidemic, restore the economy, and maintain justice.
