Friday, On July 26, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
This information was reported by the European External Action Service, URA-Inform reports.
The European External Action Service said they discussed, among other things, Russian aggression against Ukraine. They noted that during a meeting with a Chinese representative on the sidelines of the ASEAN regional forum in Laos, Borrell raised the issue of relations between the EU and China.
He drew attention to the fact that China's support for Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine “negatively affects relations between the European Union and China” and expressed concern about China's export of “large quantities of dual-use goods and items” to the Russian Federation.
The High Representative of the European Union asked China to use its influence on Russia to help end the war. He asked China to support the peace process in Ukraine and believes that the joint statement with Brazil from May 2024 does not go in this direction,” the report says.
Borrell also raised the issue of bilateral trade, pointing out that excessive government subsidies from China “lead to distortion in the EU market.”
It is worth noting that British Foreign Secretary David Lemmy had previously called on Wang Yu to abandon support for Russia, while German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock had called on the Chinese government to work more intensively for peace in Ukraine.
Recall that it was previously reported that Trump's former ally revealed the main points of the “peace plan” for Ukraine: details.
