Regarding the question of whether the EU-China summit is still possible before the end of the year, Wu Ken said that German Chancellor Merkel will make EU relations with China a diplomatic priority during Germany's EU presidency, and we look forward to this.
The China-EU summit initiated by Germany is of great significance to China-EU relations.

Regarding the question of "Whether the China-EU Investment Agreement can be completed during the German presidency", Wu Ken responded that, in his view, the negotiations have entered the final stage.
"At the video meeting between the leaders of China, Germany and Europe last week, the two sides confirmed their political will to complete the negotiations within this year. This is in our common interest."
Wu Ken also pointed out that with such a wide range of China-EU cooperation, it is inevitable that some problems and even disputes will arise.
The important thing is that we always uphold the willingness to talk.
As long as we follow the principles of mutual respect and non-interference in each other's internal affairs, and exchanges based on facts, we can talk about any issue.
In terms of human rights, there is no best, only better.
But we believe that countries should do their own "homework" first, instead of pointing fingers at other countries.
