On 13 April, the EU-China Business Association (EUCBA) had the honor of organizing an Exclusive Luncheon with H.E. Mr Cai Run, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to the European Union and Head of the Chinese Mission to the EU, held at De Warande in Brussels. The lunch was well attended by European sector organizations, as well as European and Chinese business leaders.
Mr Jochum Haakma, Chairman of the European Union–China Business Association, welcomed the participants and stressed that both the EU and China need each other more than ever.
During the luncheon, Ambassador Cai Run shared valuable insights into the priorities of the 15th Five-Year Plan and their implications for EU–China trade and investment. He highlighted the opportunities for further cooperation, noting that China is taking concrete steps to expand opening-up across key sectors, including manufacturing, telecommunications, education, finance, and insurance, with many of these measures already being implemented.
The event was organized by the European Union–China Business Association, the umbrella organization of bilateral business associations promoting EU–China economic and trade relations, in which the Flanders-China Chamber of Commerce (FCCC) holds the Vice-Presidency.
“Good dialogue starts with good understanding.” At FCCC, we put this principle into practice by organizing tailored China exploration trips for Belgian companies, enabling them to better understand the market, its dynamics, and opportunities. At the same time, we support Chinese companies in building strong partnerships in Europe.
