Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's three-day official Europe tour to Germany and Belgium from May 31 to June 2, 2017 has further accelerated the China- European Union (EU) relationship in times of global uncertainty due to events such as Donald Trump's presidency and Brexit. Plainly speaking, his visit came amid a deepening rift between the US and Europe.
Premier Li's trip to Germany and Belgium to attend the annual China-Germany all-round strategic Prime Ministers meeting and to hold the China-EU summit has proved to be very productive.
Fresh from two weeks of legislative and political advisory meetings with China’s elite lawmakers in Beijing, a newly-buoyant Premier Li Keqiang is back on the road leading a large delegation for a week of talks in Australia and New Zealand.
The tone was upbeat and the mood was convivial as China’s premier, Li Keqiang, presided over the traditional press conference following the end of the annual two sessions of legislative and political advisory meetings by China’s political elite in Beijing.
