China and Europe share extensive common interests and are not systemic rivals, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Sunday.

BRUSSELS, March 1 (Xinhua) -- With the bilateral agreement on geographical indications (GIs) entering into force on Monday, the European Union (EU) and China will work on promoting the registered agri-food products as well as protecting the iconic names.

Business leaders from China and the European Union (EU) have been encouraged to see the bilateral trade grow in 2020, a year that was marred with lockdowns and industrial disruptions due to the restrictive measures put in place to curb the spread of the pandemic.

China became the main trade partner of the European Union (EU) in 2020, with exports and imports both increasing despite the COVID-19 pandemic, Eurostat said on Monday.

In 2020, China made major achievements in responding to the severe impact of COVID-19 and accomplished the tasks in stabilizing foreign trade.

The agreement is balanced as China and the EU have both paid particular attention to retaining necessary regulatory powers when making opening-up commitments, the official said at a press conference Wednesday.

A total of 1,126 cargo train trips were operated linking the city of Zhengzhou, capital of central China's Henan Province, with European cities in 2020.

Wang said China is willing to work with the Netherlands to resume personnel exchanges in an orderly manner, speed up mutually beneficial cooperation, and contribute to the recovery of the world economy.

China is willing to work with the Netherlands to deepen cooperation in traditional areas such as agriculture, water conservancy, aerospace, education, and scientific research, and tap the potential for cooperation in emerging fields including biomedicine, cross-border e-commerce, and green development, Wang said.

THE HAGUE, Aug. 27 (Xinhua) -- China and The Netherlands should jointly uphold multilateralism and set an example for safeguarding free trade, ensuring mutual openness, and advocating fair competition, visiting Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here on Wednesday.
