Merkel called on the European Union for cohesion in relations with China

On China, the European Union must speak with one voice and lead a cohesive policy with Beijing. This opinion was expressed on June 18 by German Chancellor Angela Merkel during her speech in the Bundestag. With regard to China's strategic partner, it is important that Europe speak in one voice on behalf of all 27 participating countries, the German chancellor said. She also noted that only in this way can the European Union convincingly speak out with its values ​ ​ and interests. In addition, the German chancellor said that relations between the EU and China will become a central topic during the presidency of Germany in the union and therefore the decision to postpone the coronavirus pandemic of the EU summit to China, which was to be held in September this year, was not easy. Together with the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, and Chinese President Xi Jinping, I am sure that we will hold this meeting later, Merkel also said. Note, as reported by the news agency, earlier to the chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel said that an outbreak of coronavirus infection exposed the vulnerability of the European Union.
