A European Parliament member praised China in Beijing on Tuesday
for its "constructive role" in the international community, wishing
to strengthen bilateral cooperation for the "common goal" of world
multilateralism.
"In a riskful time we are living in, both Europe and China
should contribute to world peace, and China plays a big
constructive role in peaceful solutions to international
conflicts," said Martin Schulz, chairman of the Socialist Group in
the European Parliament, when meeting press.
Schulz and his delegation are here for a visit to China at the
invitation of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Schulz expressed his hope to strengthen cooperation with the CPC
in various fields, such as politics, economy, environment and
sustainable development.
"We will be prepared to cooperate with China not only on the
economic level, but especially on the political level to increase
multilateralism in the world," said Schulz.
Schulz said he is very impressed by the economic progress China
has made during recent years.
"China is a strong market in which European companies have a lot
of chances as Chinese companies have many chances in trade
exchanges with Europe. China's good development is in the interest
of both China itself and the EU," said Schulz.
