The world should strive for multilateralism and open markets as much as possible, says Herman Van Rompuy, former President of the European Council. In a recent interview with China Media Group, Van Rompuy emphasized the importance of fair trade practices and collaboration between the European Union (EU) and China.
“There is a trade deficit issue between the EU and China,” Van Rompuy noted. “The EU needs to further open its markets and become more competitive. We must ensure that China has the same fair competition conditions in the European market.”
He acknowledged that there are other irregularities in the current trade dynamics. “This is a delicate matter, but it’s an economic issue,” he added.
Van Rompuy’s comments highlight the need for cooperation and open dialogue to address economic challenges. By embracing multilateralism, countries can work together to create fair and open markets, benefiting economies worldwide.
