China and the European Parliament have decided to simultaneously and comprehensively lift restrictions on mutual exchanges as agreed by the two sides, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said in Beijing Tuesday.
In response to a media query about the exchange restriction removal, Lin Jian, the spokesman, said that both sides believe that enhancing dialogue and cooperation is vital in the current situation.
"In the past few years, the exchanges between the legislative bodies of China and the European Union (EU) have suffered turbulence for reasons known to all. Under the current circumstances, both sides believe that it is very important to enhance dialogue and cooperation. As agreed between the two sides, China and the European Parliament have decided to simultaneously and comprehensively lift restrictions on mutual exchanges. We believe and expect that the exchanges and understanding between two sides will get deeper, with the full resumption of exchanges between the legislative bodies of China and the EU. This will provide new impetus for the sustained, healthy, and steady development of China-EU relations," said Lin.
