Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met the press on Friday on the sidelines of the second session of the 13th National People's Congress in Beijing. Wang answered questions on China-Europe relations.
Wang Yi: Europe has always prided itself on its independence. We trust that as a key force in the world, Europe will surely keep its fundamental, long-term interests in mind, and pursue a China policy that is independent, consistent and forward-leaning. We hope Europe will work with China to deepen all areas of our mutually beneficial cooperation, uphold international rules and contribute to global peace.

独立自主历来是欧洲的传统。我们相信，作为国际上的主要力量之一，欧洲一定会从自身的根本和长远利益出发，保持对华政策的独立性、稳定性和积极性，与中方一道深化各领域互利合作，共同为捍卫国际规则、维护世界和平作出贡献。
