Hey there, friends! 🌟 Did you hear about the big phone call between China and the European Union (EU)? Let’s find out what happened!
On Tuesday, Chinese Premier Li Qiang chatted on the phone with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. They talked about how important it is for China and the EU to keep trading freely and openly. That means buying and selling goods without too many rules getting in the way!
Both China and the EU believe that trading with each other helps everyone. They support organizations like the World Trade Organization (WTO), which sets fair rules for trade between countries. Premier Li said that by working together, China and the EU can make sure that factories keep running smoothly and that products get to where they need to go.
They also talked about how the United States (U.S.) has been putting tariffs on many countries, including China and the EU. A tariff is like a tax on things brought into a country. Both leaders agreed that this could cause problems for the global economy.
Premier Li mentioned that this year is the 50th anniversary of China and the EU having diplomatic relations—that’s like being official friends for 50 years! 🎉 He hopes they can keep growing their friendship and work together on things like green energy and digital technology.
Ursula von der Leyen agreed that it’s super important for Europe and China to stay connected and stable, especially now. She is looking forward to celebrating their 50 years of friendship and having more meetings soon.
Both leaders want to make sure that trade around the world stays fair and free, helping not just their own countries, but everyone!
Isn’t it great when countries work together? 🌏✌️ It shows how teamwork can make the world a better place!
