Global media professionals urged Europe to strengthen cooperation with China in interviews with China Media Group (CMG) at the Munich Security Conference (MSC).
Amid profound and complex changes in the international landscape, both Europe and China have sent positive signals on enhancing communication and expanding cooperation at the conference. Several foreign journalists told CMG that Europe is actively advancing its relations with China and that the two sides enjoy broad prospects for cooperation across multiple fields, making closer collaboration both necessary and beneficial.
"As far as I'm concerned, China can be a friend to the world. It doesn't have to be a threat. We can all work together to our mutual benefit. Let's work to save the planet we have and stop fighting each other when we can just have so much benefit by working together," said Nick Holdsworth, a British journalist.
"I think it (the cooperation between China and Europe) is important also. It makes it more important, the fact that we see the Trump administration advertising for unilateralism. And on the other side, we see that China is coming here to an international conference to say that we need to respect multilateralism, and this is the way forward in the world. And this is where I think it's the most important," said Raghida Bahnam, a German journalist.
