StrategicdiscussionswithpartnersfromtheInternationalCooperationCenter(ICC)

Global Neighbours had the pleasure of engaging in strategic discussions with partners from the International Cooperation Center (ICC) on the evolving landscape of China–Europe relations. The exchange reflected a shared understanding that the current global environment represents a pivotal moment — a genuine “time to change” — and an opportunity to rethink how cross‑regional dialogue is shaped and advanced.

Both sides emphasized the need to approach China–Europe relations from a long‑term, strategic perspective. The conversation also highlighted several key priorities: reaffirming China and Europe as partners with cooperation at the core, strengthening high‑level dialogue to provide stability in an increasingly turbulent global context, and adopting a more differentiated approach that moves beyond traditional think‑tank formats.
