Speech at the College of Europe

Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the College of Europe on April 1, 2014.

“Speech at the College of Europe” was delivered on April 1, 2014. It states, “To move relations forward, China needs to deepen its knowledge of Europe, just as the EU needs to deepen its knowledge of China. China’s unique cultural traditions, history, and national circumstances have all dictated that it would naturally follow a development path suited to its own particular attributes. We need to work together to create a bridge that rests on four pillars—peace, growth, reform, and the progress of civilization — and with this, build a China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership that is of greater influence globally.”
