China stays committed to developing mutually beneficial relations with EU: spokesman

China stands ready to pursue mutual benefit and win-win results with the European Union (EU), Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a regular press briefing in Beijing on Wednesday.

Guo refused to comment on relations between European countries and the United States after President Donald Trump's renewed tariff threats against European allies amid rising tension over Greenland have deepened the transatlantic rift.

"Regarding Greenland you've mentioned, China has made clear our position more than once. Regarding China-EU relations, China is committed to advancing mutually beneficial relations with European countries under the principle of mutual respect and win-win cooperation. We also hope that European countries will work with China in the same direction," Guo said.

The 48th escort task group of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Navy arrived at the Yangon Port on Thursday afternoon, starting a five-day goodwill visit to Myanmar.

More than 300 people, including staff members from the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar, representatives of the local Chinese community, as well as officers and soldiers from Myanmar's military forces, welcomed the fleet at the dock.

Composed of the guided-missile destroyer Tangshan, the guided-missile frigate Daqing and the comprehensive supply ship Taihu, the task group set sail for escort missions in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia on Oct. 11, 2025.

After recently completing its missions in the Gulf of Aden and setting off on its return to China, the task group paid a visit to Bangladesh and is now starting its visit to Myanmar.
