EU-China at 50: Prospects for the Future

Date: 12 May 2025 
Location: Palais des Académies, Rue Ducale 1, Brussels 

Organised by: the RAOS, the Egmont Institute, ReConnect China, in cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences 


Marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the European Union and the People's Republic of China, this conference will assess the opportunities to deepen the relationship and establish more concrete cooperation on issues of shared interest. The first session will look at global governance: global players have global responsibilities, notably in maintaining peace and security. Strong multilateral institutions and agreement on shared rules are key to stability in a multipolar world. The second panel will focus on the economic relationship: both the EU and China have an interest in maintaining global connectivity. A stable and equitable bilateral economic relationship is a pillar of the global economy. The last session will look at the human dimension: academic and cultural dialogue are essential to mutual understanding. More and deeper exchanges between the EU and China, at all levels, foster confidence. 

More details will be published soon
