The call to the PRC is set out in the project prepared on the eve of the summit of the conclusions that may still change. The anonymous official who communicated with the publication stated that the project of the conclusions corresponds to the May Declaration G7, but with more specific issues between the EU and China, such as the restoration of the balance of economic relations and the need for reciprocity.
"I think it is important for us to consolidate the concept of risk reduction and diversification," the official said, referring to the EU policy aimed at reducing China's economic dependence. According to the source, EU leaders will probably focus their discussions on the role of China in the termination of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and economic ties. Western politicians will urge China to use their influence on Russia to stop the war.
