Xi: More 'bridges' should be built between China and Europe

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with visiting Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Crooin Beijing on Friday. Xi said that China is willing to work with the European Union to promote steady progress in China-EU relations in the New Year.
De Croo said the Belgium-China relationship is a pacesetter in European countries' ties with China in many aspects, noting that Belgium will continue to abide by the one-China policy, and have candid dialogue with China to deepen understanding and push for continuous development of bilateral relations.
Belgium, as the rotating presidency of the EU, is willing to play an active role in the development of EU-China relations and hopes that this visit will help elevate Belgium-China and EU-China relations, he added.
