The China-EU investment agreement is a balanced, high-standard and mutually-beneficial agreement. Its early signature and entry into force are in the common interests of both sides. Since negotiations on the agreement were concluded at the end of 2020, China and the EU have been making technical preparations such as legal scrubbing for the signature and entry into effect of the agreement.

This is an issue of shared interest for both sides. We stand ready to work with the EU to push for the signing and entry into force of the agreement so that it can benefit firms and peoples on both sides at an early date. Thank you.
