EU foreign ministers discuss China strategy in Stockholm

EU foreign ministers will discuss the EU’s strategic reorientation toward China at their informal meeting in Stockholm. The topic will be on the agenda of the Gymnich meeting in the Swedish capital on Friday afternoon. EU foreign affairs envoy Josep Borrell, who will chair the meeting, had repeatedly called for a recalibration of the China strategy. However, it is considered unlikely that Brussels will move away from the familiar triad of classifying China as a „competitor, partner, rival“.
